Anyone with a auto running 4.10s or 4.11s . If so how bad does it kill your gas mileage and do you like them ? Just wondering because i was thinking of maybe getting some 4.10s idk tho. My car is a 96 z just in case you were wondering

What do you mainly use your car for? Daily driver, Track??

While I've never driven an automatic Fbody, I do have a couple of friends who have driven A4's with 4.10's and they didn't like it and would recommend 3.73's.

Try not using overdrive for a week or two, will give you a good idea of the rpms you would have to get used too.

I'm running 3.73 and they are more then enough. Just like Caprice said, don't use overdrive and that pretty much sums it up. I honestly think you would hate it. Unless you only use it for the strip I wouldn't do it. 3.73's will do you just fine.

My car is mostly dd now cause i tore my rear end out of my s 10 as soon as i get it fixed i will dd it. I had a 93 and i had 3.73 installed in it and i liked it but i think that a 3.90 gear would be perfect if i could find em

i have 4.10s in my 96 T/A. I would only recommend these gears if it is NOT a daily driver. You will probably be happier with 3.73s

Thanks for all the help guys i know there is a million threads about this stuff thanks for not bashing me. lol I would really love to find a 3.90 gear it would be in between 4.10 and 3.73 and ive searched all morning and cant find any thing lol

Trust me, if it's a DD 3.73 are awesome. Going from 2.73 you will be really surprised to the change.

well what it all boils down to is my friend has a 93 and he is going to do 3.73s and i want to have a lil edge on him lol and i think if i had a 3.90 it would help to edge him out. lol Where can i find a set of Motive 3.73s or 3.90 with out breaking the bank

This really won't give you more of an edge. Traction comes into play so keep that in mind.

oh yeah i could blister the tires off in my 93 lol i have 17x11s on my 96 tho. it will burn all the way thru 1st now even with the 2.73s lol

Yeah stepping it up in gear it's a whole new feeling and it will take some practice from the hole

^^^
3rd gear with 2.73s is:
1.0 * 2.73 = 2.73
4th gear with 4.10s is:
.70 * 4.10 = 2.87

if you're mostly low speeds and in town then go 4.10s. 3.73s are a great gear for every day use.

but...

first gear with 4.10s is:
3.06 * 4.10 = 12.546

4.10 is gonna be annoying

even 3.73s bother me on the highway a little I could only imagine a 4.10/11
