Default Finally 4.10's are going in

I just got off the phone with Chuck COW and the 4.10's are going in next Wed. We all have heard of the claims like it feels like you just added 80HP especially with the FAST & HEADERS W TUNE. I am really looking forward to reporting and sharing the experience on the way the car drives. Leon

the 3.42 gears in there. No problem now knowing it is easier on the clutch and other drive train components. Any guesses what I might turn with a 1.80 60'. Some say 12.59 others say 10.99 W a good set of tires. Leon

Wait, so your not upgrading the rear at all? Just throwing in 4.10s? Am I misunderstanding you?

Default Good Luck

I'm sure it's going to be a kick in the pants! Since were on the subject, & based on your pers info on your car I'm assuming it's not a Z51. That said anyone on this thread have the multipication rates on 1st through 6th on a base vs a Z51 6MN with a 4.10s? Also for those who have Z51 6MNs & 4.10s what mph & how quickly are you having to hit 2nd? My clutch doesn't seem to be holding up to well after I added the power, so when I do the clutch I might end up upgrading the rest of the driveline particularly the rear since mine's an '05.

You'll be to busy spinning the tires, instead of concerned about reporting

I wouldn't say that 4.10's feel like you've added 80 hp but you will notice a difference.

The car is a regular 07, C6, LS2 w FAST, LG's VR & TUNE. If it was a
Z51 I probable would be getting 3.90's. Some with z51's are getting
4.10's anyway.
