Motive 4.10 gears? opinions anyone?
i am in the market for some 4.10's. I read that many aftermarket gears whine. My friend has a set of motive 4.10's in his 99 z28 with the stock 10 bolt. I have a 2000 Z-28.. is motive a good choice? and will i need a rebuild kit? I am hoping that these gears will give me 3 tenths in the 1/4..let me know what u guys think

I went with the motive 4.10's after talking to alot of people on here and some people that I know personally that had them. They are a good gear. Mine whines a little bit, but it's my fault cause I didn't properly break them in. As far as .3 tenths in the quarter that depends on your driving ability and track prep. With the setup in my sig, I went from a 13.4 stock to a 12.93 spinning bad with a bad clutch and tranny. I got those problems fixed and haven't been back yet so I could be faster. With the 4.10's gas mileage in the city really sucks ***, but on the highway I didn't notice much of a difference. I'm only running about 300rpms higher than the 3.42's in 6th at 80mph.

I had Motive Performance in my 10 bolt and I now have them in my 9" for 2 reasons, Strong and Quiet. I would Highly recomend them.
And yes if you are going to do a gear swap I would put a master rebuild kit in it.
Be carefull, 10 bolt is a pyle of **** and don't be surprised to find your pumpkin explode in a grenade like fashion if you run it at the track with stickies. You should be ok for a while with a stock car with street tires.

Needless to say I have tried 3.42, 3.73, 4.10 and 4.56 gears in mine, they all broke
GM needs a in the face for that great feat of engineering.

Aint that the truth, GM puts a rear end built for a 2,000 pound 4 cylinder car in a 3,500# performance car, engineering minds on crack.

I do think they should have used a larger diff though.
