Hey guys i am going to be getting gears soon and was wondering what all of your thoughts were on 4.10s vs. 4.30s in an auto. This car is a daily driver that will not see a ton of highway use. I appreciate any info you can give.

The 4.10s are an excellent choice, but 4.30s are definately tempting. That's it....get the 4.30s. Whichever you decide on, consider a transmission cooler.

Please see my signature. No problems here at all. As Beavis.....I mean, "Give me TP" above said, get a transmission cooler either way.

If you're going to be going with a power adder in the future, then 4.10's is the "steepest" I'de go.

It is tempting isn't it? You always see the 3.73 vs. 4.10 debate and there is always someone that pops up and posts - get 4.30s. I am definitely considering getting them. I've wasted more money before. I'm definitely going to pick up a cooler.

I like my 4.10's. They work great for my daily driven GT Automatic.

I like the 4:10's and at the most u might get an extra .1 in the 1/4 with 4:30's. I dont think the hiway rpms will be much different, but your overall top speed will be limited somewhat cause u will redline a bit faster. I improved my 1/4 time by .4 with 4:10's so they deff. help.
