then dont buy anything for the car at all. 4.10s are the only thing you should invest in.

4.10s really aren't that expensive to put in and you love the results...I only spent a little under 500 for the 4.10s and the install

did u install them or did u have the shop install them?

other thing too is well u see my dad dosn't want the shop taking off and tearing up the old axle cause he says like they might screw somthing up even though if they mess it up they have to fix it...

if was my decision i would put them on so i can get the most out of the car while i'm in highschool


but yet again
hoping to get (2003-2004 Terminator) or (Srt8 Challenger 2009 in stick love the hemi's)

all they do is take off the brakes, and the rear girdle. thats all they have to do. if you do any mod it should be the 4.10s. with install it shouldtnt cost morre than 600 bucks.

not enough to worry about IMO. maybe 1-2 MPG on the highway, but in town you will gain MPG because you will get to 5th gear instead of staying in 4th.

With both you will gain a lot of in town mileage. with it being an auto you will not loose as much on the highway as you think. that overdrive works wonders for that. I say get the 4.10's and a tuner. It will be a big gain in performance and mileage.
