Default Best 4.10s to get?

$ not a issue I just want to have the "best" 4.10 set up for my stock 10 bolt. I am just installing the gears. I have 25k miles few bolt ons and suspension mods and I do not plan on having over 450 HP. So if anyone could let me know what they got or what the best would be it would be great. Thanks

I have Motive 4.10's using a T/A girdle. They're dead quiet ( some of the quiet has to do with the install, but also the pitch they cut the gears with) and I've flat out abused mine running 420 rwhp on a 6 speed. I've been to the track twice.

I don't drive the car much, but when I do I run it to the fullest. Good gears. (Motive)

I can vouch for Motives... Quiet and strong.

I've heard multiple Richmond's... Noisy!!!(whine) but strong.

Can you take the Motive 4.10s that go into the stock 10Bolt and put them in a 12 Bolt later?

I would go with Strange. They are a much better quality gear.

I've read countless posts here crapping on Strange for !!!noise!!!!! Richmonds are known to be !!!!!!!noisy!!!!!!

If you want a quiet gear that's just as strong as any 7.5" 10-bolt can be- Motive's are the pick of the litter.
