I agree 1000% and I had 4.10s on a bolt on 03 Z06. GEARS are the best bang for the buck go fast performance modification that one can do to their vette and it doesn't even touch the motor and is 100% reliable if rear end is built professionally. 4.10 gears will make your car feel like it just found 75 to 100 extra HP and will in fact multiply your torque from a stand still launch!

Traction will definately be a problem.

I agree I had a 02 mustang GT, i got 4.10's but they didnt help much because now i just spun my tires a lot more. The car toped out a 112 in 4th. 5th was useless. If you plan on drag racing a lot with some sticky tires go for it.
