4.10s are FTW if prioritize peformance over gas mileage and a busier engine.
How is that ESS software really?
Does it compliment the 4.10's?

Yeah..I am glad to have the software and it does help with the gears. Added rpms is a plus with 4.10s for sure. That being said, if I did not have gears or headers I am not sure I could justify the other perks for the $900.00 cost of entry. Nothing is cheap on our cars though

Truth is few people do 0-60 acceleration runs all that often - the 4.10s give you stronger rolling acceleration for passing/merging maneuvers, which is why most people are nuts about them.
