It feels like a brand new car
Well, the 4.10's are in, and I feel like a kid in a candy store.
It feels like a new car.
Simply amazing.
I'm glad I didn't go with 3.73's, I don't think the difference would have been as noticable and I would have regretted that choice.
I was worried that I would get a set of FRPP's that are now made by Motive, but no worries, I have the American made.
There's goes my gas mileage for awhile while I get over the desire to constantly play with them.

cold air kit and custom tune
4.10 gears
alumininum driveshaft
With each of those (added one at a time over time), it felt like, as you said, a brand new car.

Couldn't agree more about the 4.10's. Had mine installed a couple of weeks ago along with the Detroit Truetrac and the FRPP axle girdle and the get up is just some much better now. It's also great to be able to get on it in 5th now and actually have some pull.

Went with 3.73's for my auto should get them late next week, girdle has to be ordered before I have them installed but I think the install should be between $300-$500.

You got that right. Of all the mods that made a difference on my car, the 3 biggest seat of the pants improvements are:
cold air kit and custom tune
4.10 gears
alumininum driveshaft

I'm still running 3.73's (highway crus'in work car)

A bit off topic but I would have thought your quarter mile times would have been a tad bit lower with your setup. Kinda hot down there in MO??? Were you on street tires or drag radials? Prior to my alumininum driveshaft, removing the heavy subs and amps from the trunk, and the heavy duty clutch, I pulled a 13.3 at 105, but it was freaking cooking here in MD. I'm waiting for a club track rental day at the end of the month where we start runs at 8am, and it's nice and cool. Should be in the 12s finally.

I wanted to know how fast my car was just the way I drive it to work everyday. Everything in the trunk, spare tire, tools, full tank of gas, etc, etc.
Stock street tires at the time 235/55/17's.
I just like the idea of having a 13.4 sec work car.
