I drive my car everyday. So what kind of gears? 3.73's or the 4.10's??

I drive mine everyday too. I have 410s and I love em.

Alright sweet! I'm going to order them now.

+1 on the 4.10's. Mine's a DD with them and they are a lot of fun

I DD mine, and I have 3.73s. Which is what I would recommend for a daily driver. More useable first gear, and more settled on the freeway.

People are saying that 4.10's are not even the worse on highway. Only 200 rpm higher. That what I hear.. Idk

1st still has plenty left to give IMO. I turn about 2700 at 75 mph. According to the mpg calc in the car I'm only getting about 1 mpg less. And most of my driving is above 60 mph. I've never driven with 373s so I can't argue one way or the other but I can tell you that the mpg loss is negligible. And that 1st gear WILL get your *** moving and is far from wiped out. Yesterday, with three ppl in the car ( me 213, my bud jay 280, and Justin 210), I spun 1st spun in to 2nd and kicked sideways, and barked and kicked a little In to third. I felt like I needed the extra gear due to the cams I put in but maybe with the stock valve train 373s would be plenty. But even if you feel like you spin too much after getting 410s you can always get wider, stickier tires. Just my 2 cents....

That depends, how much of your driving is in the city and how much is in the highway? (percentages)

Do you track it?

I never went to the track. I want to tho! I'm in college and football I never have the Time. Lol

I've had 4.10s for a while and loved them. Don't fear the highway RPMs. I'll add even more: I just added a supercharger and dyno'd at 500 to the wheels. I thought I'd need to bring the gears down, but hell no. I have Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires which are about the absolute best you can get, and the grip is amazing. All my power goes to the launch and the 4.10s give me that little edge against other sportscars of similar HP.

So with 4.10s you lose torque in 1st gear? I'm all about that get up an go from a stop an wouldn't want to lose that. Where does 4.10s help add more torque?

MikeD73USA

4.10 gears will add torque over 3.73 gears, the input to the rear end will now turn 4.1 times versus 3.73 times to get one full revolution of the axle, thus multiplying torque.

I have 3.73s and I would not fear going to 4.10s. First is low, but the car is relatively heavy and the extra gear would be good. You're not in first too much anyway. Highway driving is going to eat 1 to 2 mpg with gears, but if you're adding gears mpg is not your primary concern.
