Hi Charlie--
Nice to see you at BG. When I got my 93 in 1994 the first thing I did was install 4:10s and loved them. Best thing you can do for improved performance as the engine spools up more quickly, sixth gear becomes useful on the freeway and its not to pricey. Make sure your installer knows what he is doing. Marc and son Bob do them all the time and also install the speedo correction gears as part of the job (see his website www.zr1specialist.com). When I got my 95 last summer it was one of the first things I did, along with Corsa and Hurst shifter (which I also had done on the 93). Then of course, realizing I am not getting any younger, I had Marc do his 510 package over the winter.  . But that is another project altogether. Hope that helps. --Bob
