4.6..... 4.10 peeps

How is your top end speed? Did you loose any top end pull? Does it help any like in the 60-90mph range?

I don't think your top speed will change, at least not with the 4.6 you should get some good pull off the line and all around better powerband
I went with 4.56's and all i can say is WOW @ 75 mph 2250 rpm's then again i have a 5.4 and a few other mod's not in my Sig

Benefit. Why stop at 4.10s? I think I'm going to go with 4.56s in a couple months here. I'm saving for the XCal2 at the same time to account for the gears and hopefully headers too.

Yeah I know. I plan to boost in the future, though, and the headers do help a lot when you boost. At least, that's what I'm told. Probably not worth it on your 4x4 though (remember DevilSun's ordeal.)

I do a lot of highway driving right now and I think 4.56's are a little steep for a 4 speed in this day of high gas prices, I just want more out of the hole rip, but I dont want to loose to much up top either. So I just want to know if the 4.10's would do it.

You gain top speed with going up in gears? I thought you gain low end performance in exchange for top end. Please explain.

These are apparently some new kind of "special" gears... you learn something new everyday.
