Works great. You get more wheelspin from a dig or light with street tires but overall fun to drive. Be sure to get sticky tires light nitto 555 r2's and that will make a big difference. On the drag strip they are great but again you need dr or slicks to get traction and take advantage of the gears. Fun to drive with.

I have the 4.10 ratio in my 03 6 speed and IMO this is the way to go. At 60mph it turns about 1750 rpm at 70 it turns about 2000 rpm, the power is always ready.

I run 4.10s on my "01 ZO6. I started with the stock 3.42, then went 3.73, then 3.90 (the only unit with a mechanical failure) and now the 4.10. I should have started with the 4.10 in the beginning.

Been there done that for about 10K miles on my old bolt on Mill Y 03 Z and its a gas but traction on the street is a joke unless your running drag radials as i have major wheel hop for the first two gears. She did pulll like a BEAST though once she was up and runnning and it was alot of fun.. Howver, i do believe it is too much practical gear for a Z unless you really utilize the stickies.
