Hey guys, i have a dilemma. What to get? My choices are 410 gears and Lou's+Pro 5.0, or a cam package. I currently have a Loudmouth, lid, sfcs, stb. Obviously my concers are that for the 410s they could possibly whine real loud and with the cam i will void my drivetrain warranty. My 01 SS has 15k miles on her. Or, you can give me other options. I have about 600-700 bucks i can spend.

Thanks a lot guys!

 

I say 410 gears and Lou's+Pro 5.0 shifter.
Risk is all part of the game. And 410's are fun, and will shave off a few on the 1/4 mile. Maybe more then a cam

 

I got my cam first.. blah

I now have a gear waiting for install, i say gear! you need a shifter asap.. the stock one sucks

 

I would do the gears first. It will give you a better "seat of the pants" acceleration improvement. Besides, going to a larger cam usually requires some PCM tweaks to smooth everything out and usually costs a little bit of low end torque to add more top end power. If you already have a 4.10 gear in it, you won't miss any low end loss with the cam change later.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions on either.

 

I agree, the 4.10s will give you a kick in the pants. And you definitely need an aftermarket shifter. Just about all stock shifters are sloppier than they ought to be.

 

Are 4.10's in a 10 bolt strong enough if you just run on street tires? How much do they run with parts and install?

Thanks,
Brandon

 

I'd listen to Greg he knows what hes talking about.
