Motive is the cheapest made gears probably. They do make more noise and usually setup different that other gears but they still work

My cobra have 4.10 in it with 25.5 inch tall tires and it was perfect. Then I went to a taller tire that was 28 inches tall and I needed some 4.30"s for it then because with the 25 on there it had my gear up around 4.30 but when I went with the taller tire I was running true 4.10's and you could really feel the difference.. By the way I drove my car on the interstate daily to work and the rpm's was not to high.

i have 4-10's in my car ...but i also have a tko 600 with a decent overdrive and it is still at like 2000 rpm at like 60mph on a 15 in rim on a 265tire

So you guys don't think that 4.10s be a little too much gear for a daily driven 5 spd that rarely sees the track? I was thinking about going with 3.73s.

The difference in RPM between 3.73 and 4.10 is almost not even worth noting. A mod motor car will get almost exactly the same highway mpg with a 4.10 gear that it does with stock gears. Theoretically it will do better around town because it will be easier to get the car moving.

I daily drove (45mi one way to work) a 2000gt automatic and then a 1996 cobra with 4.10's and both were great. Mod Motors = Don't fear the gear!

I think you need to sell your car & get an import. Don't get a bike, just do exhaust & stuff man.
