Gear Question?

**mineralrob** · 06-29-2008, 11:24 AM

I ordered FMS 4:10 Gears and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to purchase the rebuild kit or not?? I've heard mixed views depending on miles etc. If it matters my cars a 02 and it has 25,000 miles. I was going to get the motive rebuild kit.

If your already there do it. It will suck to do it later when you have already been there!

It isn't that much more money and they definitely come in handy, you never know what your going to find once your in there

don't waste your money on a speed cal, get a tuner.

**mineralrob** · 06-29-2008, 08:10 PM

really? whats the downside of them. i eventually plan on getting a tuner in the future but for now i fugured the calibrator would work.

you said it your self, "you plan on getting a tuner"....so just get an sct tuner for your mods. tuning for a na mod car is elementary so go with a reputable mail order guy and call it good. speed cal's are a thing of the past...

If we are not fearing the gear we can do a lot better than 4.10's. I have 4.30's in my 2007 right now and the 4.56's felt WAY better but I did not like the idea of the cut down center pin in the differential. I think i have figured out a way to use the 4.56's without cutting the center pin and as soon as i get some time they are going back in.
The little 4.6's love the gear. I have had my 2007 to PRP once with the 4.30's in it. It went 12's on the stock tires with gears, mufflers, off-road x pipe, jlt intake, underdrive pulleys, and a canned sct tune.
