Won’t know what it all means for lap times till tracks open up but for sheer hooning during the summer it’s a worthwhile mod.

After logging more weekend miles, I actually think first gear is more enjoyable. First gear was never utilized much to begin with but having that bump in torque results in quicker/smoother shifts to 2nd. Being higher in the rev range means I don’t have to let off the clutch as slowly to avoid the dreaded 2nd gear grind. Not sure if that makes sense...
Only downside to 4.10s is shitty highway mileage. You’re at slightly above 3500 when cruising 80mph in 6th. So if you log a lot of highway miles maybe 3.91 is better choice.
Random side benefit is where my exhaust was borderline drone, it’s totally ‘gone’ now since I rarely find myself driving in that 2700-3000 range. Makes me want to get an X-pipe now lol.
