Its a sweet drive down the NJTPk I have done it many times. I'm working on putting 4:10s together as we speak. Gathering up up the parts, just need a few more.

You are welcome to join us any time we schedule a Maintenance Day, or if you tell us when you can come down, we will welcome you to the Baltimore - Washington DC area.

Ricky, is it true that you are polishing the inside of the differential housing?

Ricky,

You still have the 19s on. Interested in hearing your experience w 4.10s. Are you using the stock 3.45s currently?

I love the 4.10s as a mod and with this new to me stock 95 if feels boring now. If I decide to sell the 90 I will swap it out. When I went to 4.10s I did the Yukon gear D44HD and very pleased with it; no noise or issues and pounded on them with Nitto NT05R drag radials. I agree that its not for everyone, but it does put a little more fun into the car for sure.

Im still running the 19's with the 3:73's. I drove Phil W. car with the 4:10's and really enjoyed it. He runs 19's also. Brother Phil always cost me money on mods, I was warned about guys like him

So you are using the same gear config I have now, which I like. But given the fact that my speedo is reading somewhat lower than my GPS (about 3-4% using the stock speedo-trans gear) that tells me the car is running as if it has gears taller than the stock 3.45s. That's what has led me to consider 4.10s
Didn't realize Phil was using 19s w his 402. Damn him!
