Chris, I honestly have not seen anyone post they regret going to 4.10's (on the '05), unless they had an install issue. Fourth gear on the freeway and you'd swear the car will never stop pulling!

I'm still waiting on someone around here that can give me a custom tune. The Predator that came with my blower has me shifting at 6,000rpm, yet on a dyno run the power is made well out to about 6500-6600rpm (maybe more be that was the end of the run).

Good for you, Chris! You'll love them, I'm sure. For the first couple of weeks it will feel like you're driving a different car. I drove like a maniac during that time. Word of caution - be careful ripping 2nd gear with the new 4.10's, even with the TC on. I've gotten sideways bad without having the TC ever kick in. Talk about a rush of adrenalin!
My replacement FRPP 4.10's have arrived and I'll probably be getting them swapped next week too.
I wish you the best as far as a noise free install goes. What brand gear are you using and who's installing? I haven't been driving mine much because of the howl I'm getting from my Precision's. They could use that noise to help with police interrogations. I know I'm ready to crack!

I am getting a set of Motive gears. From what I hear they manufacture all of the FRPP gears above 4.10. I am having them installed at Justins Performance Center in Glen Burnie.

Just curious where did you buy your gears from? I'm in College Park and considering going out to Glen Burnie to have them install my gears in the future. Thanks!

Hey Terp, I live across Adelphi Rd. from the campus in University Hills. Surprising that we haven't seen each other around. There are very few of us around here.
Chris, I did not know that Motive makes the FRPP 4.10's. You sure about this? If so, I should just buy the Motives for a bunch less. I've been waiting for weeks to get a set of the FRPP's as availability appears to be very low. Mine came all the way from Washington.
Edit: You said they manufacture the FRPP gears above 4:10's.

JPC stocks the gears, so I got the total package from them. All I have to to is drop my car off in the morning and pick it up in the evening.

How much are they charging for the whole setup?

I'm sure some people are going to say that's absolutely ridiculous but hey, that's the way it goes on the east coast.... anyway, $650, out the door.

I think that is about $75-$100 cheaper than here in So Cal at a reputable shop. (Noticed diesel at 3.499 here today). Has a great deal to do with where you live. Most shops here I talked with don't want to deal with the hassles of installing differentials, too many headaches and too much other business that's easier to handle. Less brainpower, fewer come-backs, more profitable.
