I had 4.10s in my car and I loved them, It made 6th gear much more usefull.

My gas mileage didn't really go down, youre still going to shift at the same rpms, Just a little bit lower mph. I am only going to take them out because I put a th350 in my car and now it turns about 3500 rpms at 60mph...but with the 6 speed thats not a problem

4.10s actually allowed my gas mileage to go up - I can get into 6th gear at lower speeds now, without bogging the engine down.

i drive my Camaro with 4.33 gears in it. I usually cruise around town in 5th gear at 45mph and then on the highway 75mph is 2100 rpms.

Is it safe on a 10 bolt? I was thinking of getting it myself but got scared i might break some teeth especially on hard launches.
