Default 4:10 gears

Two weeks before my C5 6speed goes in the speed shop!

I'm hoping the 4:10 gear will throw a hugh smile on my face!

No I don't have a supercharger....

Anyone with a 4:10 gear please give me your comments!

It's a great mod, but if you plan on going with bigger power later, you might not want 4:10's. On a stock or moderately modded car, the 4:10's are a great upgrade. You can even use 6th gear once in a while.

I just got them (all my friends Balked) and love them.
I will be adding heads and a cam (i have headers, no cats and an ls6 intake) in the future. Once that is done, thats it.
The 4.10 are to tall for anythhing else.
Get them you will love them.

cheers

I have had a set for 3 years and love them , since installing the gears I added headers, H&C and still love them, first gear is here and gone before you know it, but 2-4th are real fun, and 6th is very usable, at 80MPH I am turning 2,100RPM
