And also a guy told me if i went with 4.10's it would make my tranny wear out if its a daily driver, which its not??? so i have an appoint tomoroow at 10 am for my gears install so i have alot to think about. I want to go with a 5 spped swap bec i want my car to really be quick off the line, and im not rich.
