Last weekend, I drove a friend's car with 373 gears. He told me to drive it as hard as I wanted. I was happy to oblige... What a difference over stock. The car pulls in all gears. I must say, the first time I stomped on the gas, I hit the rev limiter so fast, I was stunned. Once I got used to it, I loved it.

I will be buying the new gears very soon...

I merely started this post to say how great the drive was. I was thinking Motive 3.90s, but now it is a toss-up. I do not race, but want to feel the pull. I know a lot of people say "DNFTG" and "go with 4.10s", but I am undecided. I just know any of these are better than stock!

I F.T.G! Not because of the ratio, but

$139 <--gears
$300 <--install
$90 <--speedcal

Over $500 and don't know if I will love the outcome!

I don't think I would like the way my car would run with 3.73's, now that I know what it's like with 4.10's. I'm thinkin 4.30's would have been a little better.
