You won't be unhappy w/ 4.10s. That's what I had in mine when I was n/a.

Many say 4.10s if interstate driving is not involved and 3.73s if you travel interstate or plan on installing a supercharger/Turbo in the future.

Get it over with and get 3.90s. They are between the 3.73s and 4.10s.

Next time, go to that little box above the forum threads that says "search this forum" and do a search. You would have found countless threads entirely devoted to the debate between 3.73 and 4.10 gears. But, since I'm here, I say 4.10 if staying NA and 3.73 if planning on a power adder. Or if you're like me and plan on a blower later but want more fun in the meantime, go 4.10 now, then 3.73 when you get the blower. Just my 2 cents.

P.S. Get the 4.10's

I'd be dissapointed if I went with 3.90s instead of 4.10s

That's not what he was saying. GinoGT was saying that anyone that uses an excuse to make 3.73's sound like the better choice such as the old "they're better for the highway" reason, is pretty much a jackass................I think. Gino, please feel free to put a boot up my ass if I'm wrong. Personally, if I drove the car 100+ freeway miles a day, I would also have thought harder about 4.10's before I got them.............probably at least another 5 minutes or so.

No, you've got the idea.

4.10's are so much fun that the extra 250rpm's are a point.

N/A - 4.10's without a doubt - if you can handle it, 4:30's.
