My MM has a K*N Drop in, and a Lidio Tune.

I am wondering what will occur if I install a 3000 TC and 4.10's. Will I notice a huge difference? What what I have read, I should. Correct?

The 60' times should be quicker, and the tires may / may not break loose.

How would drivability be? Still good for city driving? How about highway driving? I would like a bit more acceleration, but I do not want it to harm the functionallity of the car.

I have the 4.10s and those alone were night and day. More umpfh off the line. I gained .7 seconds off my 1/4 with gears and a good dyno tune. The TC is supposed to give you another .5 minimum. .7 with a good tune. Just remember, your 60' times will get better if your tires DONT break loose. If I were to install a 3000 TC and power break my car to 3000 rpms and launch, my KDW2s would spin and spin and spin. I would definately reccomend a drag radial with those 2 mods. Thats where your 60' will be greatly reduced and your overall ET will be lower.

It would be a significant perfomance increase from where you are now. As far as driveability when you smash the go pedal the engine revs for the moon. A good tune is needed to max out performance by locking the converter at some speed or something, correct me if im wrong. I have KDW2's and they hook up pretty well at the track.

With 4.10's, a tune, and a 3000 stall, you'll roast stock tires.

A tune and 4.10's only shaved off over .9 off my 1/4 mile times.
