i was at a friend of mines shop the other day. he rents a big shop and has someone that runs his own business and they share a building together. anyhow the friend does 4x4 mods and can and does just about everything. this guy has all kinds of tools from breaks, presses and a tig welder. i was talkin to him and he had several ring and pinion gearsets laying around. i asked him if he had anything for an 8.8. he happened to have a 4.10 gear set with a trac loc 31 spline carrier that he will give me for 50 bucks. my question is this, will 4.10s be too much gear for my mild setup? what are some round about rpms u guys are turning at highway speeds? i have 3.08s now and would like some 3.73s but the 4.10s are way cheaper and appear to be in good shape. fellas give me some suggestions on it and would you get the 4.10s over the 3.73s. im eventually gonna do some more serious mods to the car i have a new engine to build for it in the future. btw my current mods include a full exhaust w/ e/l shorties, x pipe, home made cai, mild ported typhoon u/l manifold, 65mm tb, 24lb injectors, pullies,. msd box. and the car is a 5spd.
