What do you plan on doing with the car? If your planning on racing alot then go with the 4.56 . iF your going to DD and race once in a while then the 4.10 or 4.30s

I have GM 4.30's installed & have no regrets....Im glad I chose 4.30's over 4.10's...there is only a 100rpm difference between the 2. I daily drive my ride & saw a 2 mpg decrease over the 3.42's

Wow, 4.30s are pretty damn big...but then, I remember back when you still had your Altima. Bit of a seat-of-the-pants difference?

I've got GM 4.10s in my car now. Had Superiors, and when the shop swapped them for 4.10s, they said they had never heard gear whine that bad, even on race-only cars.

There's still 2 altima's in the picture but they aren't mine (Mom & sister) My ride coming along slowly but surely Bit of a SOTP difference is an understatement....lol I get a slight whine at about 60mph.....when I first got em in, no whine whatsoever, but now i'm getting a lil whine but u have to really listen for it

I think they were only made for Isuzu trucks & mail trucks......I got mine on ebay.....maybe a dealer would have em??? Drags with 4.30's really isn't a good idea with the 10 bolt.....u WILL grenade ur rear end for sure....are these going in a 10 bolt?

I wouldn't run 4.10's or 4.30's with DR's in a 10 bolt period ......I still have Trans am chrome's w/Fuzion zri 245/50/16's, I spin the tires quite a bit but hook pretty good when I feather the clutch. Maybe for DD u will be o.k. w/ 4.10's/4.30's..... just feather the clutch when u launch at the track or street, just to be on the safe side
