Motive 3.90s Looking to install this on my SS, anyone running this gear in a 10 bolt? like or dislike them? i have a 6 speed, just looking to have fun on the street, would i need to replace the stock posi unit? or will it hold up?
I'M thinking of going 3.90's also , alot of people will say 4.10's and I agree w/that if
your on 28" DR's but on a 26" tall street tire IMO is too much!
Gonna watch your post for moor opinion's!

i seem to think that 3.90s wit a 26 inch tire, is good, i think 4.10s is too much though

I have 3.90's w/m6 and they are just right for my stock motor. With 4.10's I would be shifting to 5th at the end of the 1/4 unless I changed my rev limiter and with stock motor don't want to do that.
Don't fear the gear

Don't waste the money on an aftermarket differential. Just run the stocker til it dies while you save for a real rear (9in).

yeah i hear ya, but i dont wanna do the job twice u kno, will the stocker hold up wit the new gears?
just leave the stocker as stated. It'll be fine for sometime. Gears are usually the weak link. ANd I wouldn't go putting sticky tires, that'll just put an end to the 10 bolt that much faster.
