Yeah I know, but breaking things in right and having them last for a LOOONG time is what I am all about. I hate being a mechanic and knowing what to do and what not to do....

Is yours a toy? I've been back and forth about gears and a tune. Want to do it but mine is a daily driver. Guessing 4.10's would be ridiculous in the winter.

It was hilarious riding with Chris yesterday.... He wanted to burnout soooo bad; It was a noticeable difference than the 3.55's I got.... I'm happy for you Chris :)

Toy...I guess you could say that if you mean not a daily driver. I don't drive mine daily but mileage is a concern though cause this is a long haul car. After Steve Babcock telling me that the car was designed with 4.10's my mind was made up. After I drive home tonight I will be able to play some...more details and an in depth report tomorrow!

Yes, I wanted to let it eat badly! I can tell you that it pulls really nice around town. The driving today has been start stop red light to red light. No hard launches yet, or full throttle shifts but she feels nice!

How much work is involved swapping the 4'10s back for the original grarset, I do a lot of hi-way diving and would prefer to go back to originals, Is this a difficult process, thank you for any help

You're really not going to see a big difference if you go back to 3.55s. Typically 1 -2 mpg difference between the two gear sets. I saw about a .5 to 1.0 difference in my car, well worth it for the improved responsiveness from the 4.10s over the OEM gears/

Going back and fourth would be a PAIN IN THE AZZ, not to mention expensive due to needing to set up the gears each time...
