Well I finally got my new clutch put in (Textralia) and my new gears 4.10's

SO far I am pretty happy with them.. the clutch grabs way better then stock..

I was wondering though I was thinking I would feel more of a difference with the 4.10 but I don't...is this normal.. I mean the car feels a little faster..

I guess we will have to wait untill the next time I hit the track to see..

I didn't notice that much of a difference besides you will be able to use sixth gear a lot more often. You will see a big difference at the track. If for some reason you don't, you may have the wrong ring and pinion in there. Hope not.

I'll be going to DTE in about a week and a half to get the 4:10's put in mine, everything I've read talks about a big SOTP difference. I don't really like hearing that you can't tell much difference from the 3:42's. Too much money not to feel much different. I guess you've really ran it up the rpm's thru each gear? Most people say it's like 50 or 100 hp added. Maybe I should of done something different with that money.

like night and day

IT'S WORTH IT, I WAS JOKING! Just wanted to see what people would say. You may not be able to feel it if you are always frying your tires!

You can feel them for sure, it's like adding 50 hp to your car.

Now that's what I wanted to hear!

Jserman

I dont' regret it and I can feel the difference..trust me especially when you punch it...

Haven't had a chance to take it up through all the gears just had the Dif put it but give me a week and I will...

Wicked Weasel

the 4.10 are


I still think it is the best Mod to date on my car. Once the break in period is over you will really feel the difference.

Good news! I have the same clutch in NC waiting to be installed. What is the break in period for it and the new gears? I will drive mine night and day to get it broke in so I can get it to the track How does it feal on the street? I'd love to hear about the track. Thanks!!!

roughly 500 miles. you can still accelerate, but you need to be easy taking off and going around turns (I guess that is where the most stress is on the rear).

Chris at ECS basically told me to think I have a cup of Hot Coffee on the dash and try not to spill that coffee.

Dam those were the worse 500 miles in the vette....

Jserman

well I toook the vette out last night.. for nice little drive just to get some miles on the clutch and rearend..

I am definatly seeing the difference know.. on the highway in 4th the car just pulls so hard..and 5th...

know I see why I did this mod...I am totallly loving it.. make the car a total different machine to drive...

I can't wait tot get some miles on it then take it too the track..

jnsfeeney

make sure to follow the break-in rules for first several hundred miles, then have fun

Jserman

this is what I am doing I was told just to drive the car like normal.. just don't get crazy...

100 miles down 400 to go....

chiefDave

Damn it must be hard to behave! Does it have to be varried driving or can it be high way miles??? I will be dropping gears, clutch and brace on my car in Sep... Thanks!
Dave

Jserman

I have been driving like normal...just having fun..the only thing I haven't been doing is still total dropping the clutch and slaming the gas...

that's about it.. I have about 200 miles on the setup and loving it
