Do you currently have the factory 3.27s? How much highway driving do u do? I have an 03 GT with some bolt ons and I went 4.10s I the rear. Everyone told me when torn between 2 go the numerically higher. So I went 4.10s. My mpgs haven't really dropped much on highway, city is a different story though. I love the gears in my car they are alotta fun.
