DOES ANYONE MAKE 4.10 GEARS FOR 850 (archive)

*NO INTERNAL ENGINE OR TRANS MODS!
*TWIN K&N AIR PODS
*ACCEL 300+ RACE LEADS(CUSTOM MADE)WITH MOROSO HEAT SHIELD
*HAMANN CHIP WITH RELEASE OF 250KMH LIMITER
*ELECTRIC FANS
*DINAN TORQUE CONVERTER (RETAINS LOCK UP,STALLS TO 2500RPM)
*CUSTOM BENT TWIN 3" EXHAUST WITH FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS, RESONATORS(UNDER VEHICLE)NO CATS AND NO REAR RESONATORS(SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE,AMAZING H.P INCREASE!)
*3.91 LSD DIFFERENTIAL
*LOWERED WITH HAMANN 3PCE WHEELS PIRELLI P-ZEROS
*FIBERGLASS BONNET(CUSTOM MADE)

I HAVE TIMED MY 850 USING THE G-TECH WITH PASSENGER:
*0-60 IN 4.97 SEC
*1/4 MILE IN 13.42 SEC
PRETTY QUICK DONT YOU THINK?

MY CAR IS DRIVEN ALMOST EVERY DAY,LOOKS STD FROM THE OUTSIDE(EXCEPT FOR THE WHEELS)IS FAIRLY QUIET UNDER PART THROTTLE, SOUNDS RADICAL UNDER FULL REVS (BUT NOT TOO LOUD)

WITH THESE MODS AND 3.91 GEARS THE CAR CAN STILL DO 140MPH!
I THINK IT CAN HANDLE 4.10 OR LOWER GEARS AND PROBABLY 1/4 MILE TIMES WILL DROP ANOTHER 0.15-0.30!

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW OF 4.10 DIFF GEARS (OR LOWER) BEING MADE FOR THE 8 SERIES? IF SO PLEASE REPLY?

MY CAR IS ALREADY 1 SEC QUICKER DOWN THE QUARTER MILE THAN A CSI WHICH HAS 380H.P. MY CAR IS MAKING AROUND THE SAME POWER. I BELIEVE THAT AN AUTO 850(WITH LOWER DIFF GEARS) HAS AN ADVANTAGE OVER A 6SPD. BECAUSE OF THE IST GEAR RATIO IN THE 6SPD BOX, 4.10 GEARS WOULD BE UNDRIVEABLE IN 1ST GEAR,SO WITH THE 6SPD,AND SAY, 3.15 GEARS, YOU LOSE OUT ON ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING IN HIGHER GEARS THAN YOU WOULD WITH A 4SPD AUTO WITH 4.10 GEARS.GET IT? ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS?
