Well from what I've read.. most people that decided on 3.73 instead of 4.10 is because of milage and their S/C plan in the future..

So, if you want to stay N/A for a while and don't mind giving up a little gas then I would go with 4.10

not much less milage maybe 10-15 miles less per tank

and no I will be running a 100 shot this year and in no way would I ever use 3.73s in a mod motored car not even with a blower it would still be 4.10s now if I was going to stay na I would have gone 4.30s

a buddy of mine just switched from 3.73s to 4.30s and he cant say enough about the 4.30 and how much of a waste in money the 3.73 were

I'm having the same delima 3.73's or 4.10's? So I drove my buddy's car the other day (4.10's) and then I jumped back in mine (3.27's) and I'm thinking the RPM's aren't that much more in a car with 4.10's, but the acceleration is quite a bit better w/4.10's

got 4.10s & love them. its a small trade-off. you give up a little bit of top end for a bunch of power out of the hole. if u want to really know, its like 1st, 1st & a half, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. thats how i would describe them anyway. u will love them unless u drive alot at really high speeds.

I love my 4.10s especially with my mods I can beat my friends 5-speed Gt With 3.73s and his mods. 4.10s are definitely worth it, dont fear the gears cause there's only like 250rpms difference within the two gears.

Now I know how people really felt when they say, "Now that I have 4.10, I'd wish I've gone with 4.30 or 4.56" Can't get enough of those SOTP feel

for SN-95 general consensus:

Naturally Aspirated: 4.10-4.56

Forced Induction: stock ratio or 3.73

Don't forget 3.55's or even 3.90's. I think 3.90's are what I'd go with if I was FI.
