Your concerned about an increase in wheel spin? I dont get it, i thought thats kinda the point.

Yes, of course your gonna break them loose easier but it also seems like u have some suspension mods you could do to help that.

True, but if you limit your cars ability to spin the tires down low by skimping on gear, or power for that matter, then once at a good speed where wheel spin isnt an issue your car will still have that handicap you gave it.

Do 4.10's w/ some suspension mods and your car will feel worlds faster out of the whole.

3.90's didn't seem like much of an upgrade from my 3.42's. I definitely wasn't blown away. My gas mileage stayed about the same or with 1 mpg though. I have 4:10's being installed now. I'm picking the car up tomorrow. Maybe I'll get that wow factor.
