The only thing i hate about my 4:10s is like ^^^ said...When somebody wants to play, i like to play back, but if i am in 4th gear (OD), and hit the gas, it drops into third and i have NO GEAR LEFT!!! lol, but they are fun on the street and not bad on the highway if you keep it in over drive...

what tire size are you running? i got 26'' tires and im gonna put 4.30s in here real soon and when in 5 gear it only raises the rpm (from my earlier 3.55s) like 2 or 300 rpm....i did the math and thats what it came to so if you can stand to run maybe 2200 rpm instead of maybe 1900 or so then go 4.30....of course depending on your tire size too....
