Default 4.10's in the vert..

Installed Cartek 4.10's in the vert yesterday. What a pleasure these gears are. It's been said before and I'll say it again... this is the gearset the car should have from the factory!

What type of exhaust do you have? Is there any problems with cruising resonance? I see you have other mods installed - wouldn't wheelspin be an issue with 410s? How about smog-testing. Have you survived "The Test"?

GHL Bullets with zero resonance. The vert is still fairly stock, I have yet to install the heads and cam. Why would wheelspin be a problem??

The gears are the best mod to date. Ican use all 6 gears and have a car that is easier to drive. The vette doesn't have a traction problem it needs a better tire.

From what I understand, feathering the clutch may be necessary when launching at the track, especially with high HP vehicles. Then again, you can always install drag radials at the time.

Thanks for the info.
