I got my car back from Livernois Friday after they swapped the 'ol 3.42's for 4.10's and all I can say is WOW! I should have done this a long time ago. It seems to pull very, very hard!

What kind of ET gains should I see (roughly) with the gear? I know the only way to know for sure is to go back to ther track, just looking for a rough guess though.

I went from a 12.93 to a 12.61 with ET Streets and the 4.10s. The second run was also in 12 degree warmer weather. You'll love them!

Same results as Cajun. I went from low 13s/high 12s to a 12.66 on a hotter day.

The hardest part is getting your stock tires to stick now. I had to use BFG DRs at the track because I would break the OEM tires loose which caused my 60ft times to be crummy....
