How is your roll race now? Like racing from 40-60 mph and on??

That is my only fear with 4.10s is that I will fall on my face from starting at those speeds. :-/

fall on your face? 40 mph is 4500 rpm in 2nd gear, a good starting point. Shifting into third around 6300 rpm/55mph and that'll take you to 85/90ish. 4th gear will take you to 120 if you so desire.

Absolutly not. There are alot of guys with 4.30s in their DD. With the .62 OD ratio you'll see a mere 300 rpm increase at 60 and 70 mph. Fuel mileage drop is very minimal. Machs should've come with 4.10s from the factory IMO.

Good deal. You'll love them. You'll find that 1st gear is almost useless. It's fun starting out in 2nd gear, winding her out all the way to 55 mph, then just coasting into 5th. If you have spent money on another brand of gear lube already, my advice is to run nothing but Amsoil.
