Are you talking about this, if so only the 3.73s are made this way:

"New manufacturing technology utilizing a Face Hob Process which features a single pass pinion tooth machining operation compared to a conventional three pass process for machining. CNC cut and lapped gear teeth. Higher strength and better quality gears are produced with the Face Hob Process. NOTE: These new gears look a little different, the gear teeth are cut on a different angle and the ring gear has a bevel on the back of the gear."

i put light weight gears with carbon fiber driveshafts. yeah every little bit helps when it comes to lowering rotating weight. but it will make it feel like a waste of money when a guy with a close set up tears you a new one.

Maybe but Im not sure. I think they are made by Pro 5.0. Its like they have a small section machined out of the back side of the ring around the bolt holes.
