How much time did 4.10s shave off for you guys???? Well, I'm picking my car up today after with a new set of 4.10s and I can't wait. I've heard it will be like a whole new car. My buddy has them in his Mustang, and the feel of it is so different, but we don't have any times yet to compare. I was just wondering if any of you guys have some time slips and can give me an estimate as to how much the 4.10s really helped.
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. If so I'll try and move it to the Drag section, but I thought this might be the better place.

I went from a best of 12.53 to a best of 12.34 with the only change being the 4.10s in my car. It used to be hard to get any better than a mid-high 1.9 60ft with the 3.42s, I either bogged or spun the Nittos. Now I 60ft low-mid 1.8s ALL DAY at a more conservative launch rpm. Best 60ft to date is a 1.82 running Nitto DRs. You'll love them!

You guys are lucky I guess. I only picked up .03 (and I do mean .03 and not .3 
) in the 1/8th going from 3.42's to 3.90's. I plan on putting in a spool and some 4.10's in the very near future hence my interest in this thread. I guess having a monster stall in the car makes mine less sensitive to gear selection than others. I doubt if I'll see much from going with 4.10's either but I've got to put in a new gear with the spool. Spools are 4 series so my 3 series 3.90's won't work. Congrats to you guys that picked up significantly but realize it just doesn't happen in every case.

Even if you only gain 20 HP up top, the whole power range under than feels much bigger. Sorry to make you spend money you dont even have yet!

Now I am afraid I "might" have to spend the head money on a 12 bolt
