Default 4.10s installed today



Yeah that about describes it. I am really happy with the 4.10s. I can't believe that such a large change come from changing from 3.42 to 4.10. They are mikronited and I also had the main bearing stud kit and the girdle. Hoping it all holds together, this is crazy! Man I'm happy, I've had these gears laying around for over a year, about time I got them installed.

Cars always feel stronger sitting in the passenger seat.

Well your bringing your peak torque in quicker, feels faster, is it faster who is to day. You need a track to measure that. But then again the gear ends quicker. At least M6's have 2 overdrives, with autos i didnt even like going to 3.73's. When I do my rear with the Moser im having the 3.42's taken out and putting 4.10's in her

I honestly don't keep track of my MPG, I'm sure it won't be too much worse seeing as I'm a M6 car.

I know I haven't been to the track yet, hell ever for that fact, but on the road where I test my mods out I am way faster MPH wise, haven't adjusted the speedometer yet, but I had to brake alot harder to slow down, and I was shifting nice and easy being the first WOT run I was making on them, after following Richomonds 3 rides to break them in.

Should be going to a 1/8 mile track next Wed.

19 % increase in the the swap (as I call it torque amplification). I ran the 4.10s for a couple years, This last summer when I broke them I decided to try the 4.56s and was pleseantly suprised with an additional 11% increase. At 74 MPH the datalogger shows 2340 RPM which is fine with me and I get on average 18-22 miles per gallon driving it hard. Oh ya I can start out in 3rd if you have to keep it quiet but there is nothing better than ripping threw 5 gears in town.
