So from going to 4.30's to 4.10's you magically have less gears?

Am I missing something?

i went from 4.30's to 4.10's if you're gonna say something try and get it right.

While I agree that the 4.30s are steep for a daily driver that rarely sees the track (only because of the fuel economy difference and having to shift twice as much in town), the car was probably quicker at the track with the 4.30s unless it was running out of gear (crossing the line on the rev limiter or way out of the power range). I probably wouldn't have wasted my time going from 4.30 to 4.10, I would have went right to 3.73 but I'm kind of retarded.

i would've liked to go to 3.73's but i just lost my job last month and don't start my new job until next month...so didn't have the extra money to spend. the 4.10's didn't cost me a thing..just a few hours of work installing them.

Personal preference I guess. I like going down the highway at low rpm too and with full exhaust so its not loud in the car.......on 100% daily driver anyway. Like I said, I'm half retarded.
