My review of the 4.083 Final Drive Gears
Okay so today was a long day, woke up at 6am, got ready by 7am and breakfast and hit the road by 8am with my friend. Arrived at the installation place (SRT in Beltsville, MD) talked to Moe and dropped my car off. This was around 9:15am. Whole day goes by, me and my friend are running around Beltsville all day eating Subway, drinking Robeks and just goofing off. Finally time comes around 5:45pm to finally pick up my car! 
So I pay, for anyone wondering it costed me $495.00 only because the bearing on my G35 was really hard to remove and they had to take it to an another shop to get it removed, otherwise it usually runs for about $380.00 dollars to get it installed. Anyways... on to the good stuff..
HOLY F*CK!
The car pulls like no other, I don't know how to explain it -- it really makes the G35 that much more fun to drive, sure the revs are up a little but honestly you're not wasting that much more gas, it's nothing.
The G35 should have came like this stock. The first time I mashed it, I never felt my car lift and just fling me wherever my heart pleases. Like Aceman said... like people with F/I... the smile you get after mashing it, is the same smile I got.
This is also my first "performance" modification on my G, and already I know it is by far the best money I have spent so far. I have no plans on going F/I so these gears really suit me well.
If you have any doubt in your mind about this modification, drop it. There is nothing to worry or yap about -- the G really grew some ***** with this modification.
As you can see, I am very pleased with this as my first modification -- matter of fact I suggest anyone that is planning to stay N/A, get this mod -- and get it FAST.
Thanks to Adam from Z1 for helping me get it quickly, thanks to Aceman for discovering this and sharing this gem with the community and thanks to _jb for helping me throughout all this.
and to end this review... Gentlemen...START YOUR ENGINES!! THE MODDING CRAZE HAS JUST BEGUN!

So if you're going 80-81, you will be hovering on 3300rpms.
And boy do I love it! The power in every gear is freaking incredible. Driving home from work even cruising in 6th, when I want to mash it, the car picks up EASILY! No need for any fast and furious downshifts.

Depending on your mileage, you have to get the installation kit that coordinates with your mileage. Adam from Z1 will take care of you, he did for me.
