I put them in yesterday and it really made a bigger change in the way the car ran than waht I had thought it would. Should have done it long time before.

It is not that bad. Fisrt gear doesn't last anytime and they will spin some through second, but after that the car really pulls hard.

People are stupid, the biggest lie about 3.73s/4.10s is that you lose traction, it is certainly not true. I use street tires at the track, and before 4.10s, my 60's were 70% 1.9X's and the rest 2.0X's. When I switched to 4.10s, the only way I would EVER 60' higher than 1.9X is if I really fucked up.

Did you put them in the stock rearend??? and is first gear usable,'cause I bet you can just start off in second easier..

You'll be fine with 4.10s...first gear does go by quickly at the track but they're worth it.

First gear is really short if your on it, but normall driving I still use it some or just take off in second. When you are in the throttle though they made the car really pull hard. I put them in the stock rear end also.

They are factory GM gears. If they are set up correctly there will me no noise at all. If you do use brand new gears you will need to use regular gear oil to break them in for a few hundred miles and then after that you can use synthetic oil.

Guess you dont do much highway driving.. Or you like the RPM's to stay around 3.1K-3.2K all the time (on the highway). For me, it was too much.

Mine are doing fine. I use to be into the rockcrawling with tube chassis vehicles and over the years with all of the rearends I have set up have not had any problems. hopefully this will be another.

I got my computer back today from TSP. They did all of the normal tuning on it and fixed the spedo for the gears. It is not as bad as I thought it was. 65MPH is 1700-1800 RPM in sixth gear. I am really pleased with it.
