4.10 gears

Just got my new gears put, makes a huge difference! Actually, gas milage is about the same, the only thing I am kinda disapointed with is that I seem to have lost a little bit of power on takeoff. I thought the gears would give me a better takeoff. I think the place that does my work and tuning is pretty worthless, so I have found someone else to trade my Xcal1 in for the Xcal2 who also says he has some kick ass tunes for the v6. We shall see how that works out, all in all I am happy with the gears. The are great in the mid-range RPM, especially on the highway when you want to pass! Makes driving a lot of fun... Also, had it on the dyno, with MMR CAI/Inlet Tube, and Magnaflow axleback I am at 198 RWHP/236 Torque.

Hey doc - Congrats on your new gears. Can you check, next time you're out, what RPM do you see at 60mph in 5th and 6th? I'm quite interested...

edit: Ugh, that was a silly question, first, there is no 6th gear, second, I broke out the calculator and came up with my answer. 5th should be around 2277 at 60mph and 3036 at 80. Sound right? (Too much sun today, I guess)

==gas milage is about the same==

I'm sure mine would suffer since I do mostly highway driving. It shouldn't make much of a difference in city driving though.

==seem to have lost a little bit of power on takeoff==

That is odd. Are you getting a hesitation? Do you think it's tune related or gear related?

==I am at 198 RWHP/236 Torque. ==

Good numbers!
