Apperently (I'm a girl so I'll put this in my terms) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> there was no oil and the gears broke/snaped/what not. I have to replace the gasket, too. (hopefully I spelled it righ) LOL. I had 4.10's now I'm not sure which ones to go with now. 3.73's or 4.10's I don't race a lot so 4.30's are out of question. I heard 3.73 were good on the freeway. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Everybody that has had 4.10's seems to be happy with them, and they don't seem to be a problem. If you already had 4.10's, then you probably wouldn't notice 3.73's, it would feel pretty much stock.

I don't really want a drag car, more of a road course car, so I will probably stay away from 4.10's. What kind of typical tank mileage did you get?

But Javier (99-UJSTLST) told me that the RPM should be in the 2500-3000 range going 85+. It launches pretty good though. I'll AIM you then. Thanks for the advice. Would you know how much it would cost me if I was buying the Gears and Gasket my self because they want to charge me over $600.00 and I think that's kinda high, but I've never had this problem so I don't really know how much they usually charge.
