Default How Many with 4.10s?

I am thinking of going with 4.10s because of my new cam. It lost some of the much needed low end it had with the 224 cam. Now it bogs real bad so I was thinking of going to 4.10s. I had a 2000 SS with 4.10s and loved them but they howled a little. How to the C-5 4.10s do? How is the drivability?

I have 4:10's and at 80 I turn about 2200. It is the best mod for the money. If you have a 6 speed.

I have 4.10s on my 03 Z06 and even with its low geared M12 tranny i love the 4.10s and the car is a screamer which is constantly in its torque band. A little more shifting and traction challenge with stock F1 tires on my Z but i wouldn't have it any other way! The everyday drivability is GREAT and i am onlly spinning about 2400 rpms at 75mph!

i recently got 4.10s on my car and it is a scream. stays in the torque band all the time. you can pass people in 6th gear with more people than most cars out there.

however,traction becomes a little more of a issue in 1st especially in cool weather

I run drag radials for daily drivers. My cam is so large it is lacking in the low end but it pulls great at 4500 and over.
