my city mpg went UP with 4.10 gears.
Top End I've been at 130-135 and still climbing, racing a Cobra down the expressway.
With 28" slicks at the track I can trap at 110mph, no problem.

Ditto. I added 30 miles to a 22 gal fuel purchase with 4.10's.

What about down the road? With 400-450 rwhp I can see this being great but what about a built motor.. say 700+rwhp, will it run out of gear or can this be fixed with bigger slicks?

I came to him, told him what I wanted. He recommended Ford gears... granted, they do cost more, but he told me that you'd get less whine from them than any other gear and they were easier to install.

When mine were whining, it was very low... one notch on the radio is louder... I doubt you could even hear them over that blower.

Is he for hire???
got my gears, but don't want to chance not getting them in right.
