I would go with the 4.10's...they work great for me...
about how much were they to get installed and whats your top speed with those on? i dont want to my max speed to drop to low but at the same time its not a real big deal. thanks man
Also, how much time did you shave off the start and at what RPMS can you feel your car begin to REALLY pick up. . .right now it takes my car about 28k rpms to really start showing its stuff. . . so with the new gears what will i gain off the start. . .thanks again

28K?
you mean 2800K right?
Gears will knock off a couple of tenths to 60 and the 1/4 mile.
Costs depend on the year of your car, from $400 - $800, depending on whether or not your transmission is computer controlled.

Yea... Some people say you dont have to have a programmer right away.... Others say you have to... I talked to different shops and they all gave different answers... I think you would be ok for a while... I would not leave it like that for to long

ill probably get the programmer when i get the gears. . .what kind of programmer would you reccomend?
you'll get the same performance from any reputable programmer, variances are due to local conditions and state of the engine.
It's all the same physics.

I thought on a 98 you only needed to buy a speedo gear and that you needed a programer for 99 and up

I think you're right, but some of the 98s can get kinda' hinkey when it comes to parts -there were running upgrades that year.
It's best to check out the typr of tranny in the car before ordering . .. .
