Just to double check I had my son follow me in his jeep at 55 and he said that

@ 75 -80 I would think it will be about 2500 rpms , Hell that's not to bad at all.

I too would be interested on what your rpms would be at 80 MPH. Please check next time your out.

Also what height are your rear tires? Thanks!!

Use this Excel file to find RPM and speed.

Michael_Js · 05-06-2010, 11:01 PM

Does seem high since I'm around 1800 RPMs around 80 mph.

hey, it's only gas and engine wear!

Sounds about right I was wondering if I was calculating it correctly. Now I know. I was thinking of 3.73 since this is my daily driver.

I don't really have any knowledge when it comes to gears so I'm probably going to sound dumb asking this but, I'm assuming that the larger the gear the less MPG you get and the more wear and tear on your motor. Is this correct?

I agree! The 4.10 gears are perfect for a M6. Clutch engagement and acceleration through the gears is effortless. There seems to be less air intake noise. No gear noise with the Richmond set.

Nyle,

Did you have DTS install? If so, can you give us a ballpark on what you paid, I would like to also change my gear to a 410 & they have a service center not far from where I live.....

Thanks,

I have over 6000 miles on my car and the rear end lube was the worst I have ever seen

And I have tore a lot of cars apart.

The gears a a rip off

But what the hell you going to do. haha.
Get um.....

How did you get your speedometer to be correct with the 4.10 gears?

WongBob · 05-10-2010, 09:22 PM

A tune

Roger Ramjet · 05-10-2010, 09:29 PM

Got a good deal on the gears. And, HP Tuners fixed the speedo in 30 seconds.
SM City Motorsports fixed me up in 1 day. Give'em a call at 301-863-6499 if you are around Maryland.
