there is only ~6% difference. not much that would really be noticable, IMHO.

'90 GT should be 2.73. 3.27 wasn't an option until '96 when they had to do something to make up for the loss of torque from the 4.6.

The 3.27 gearset was definitely an option earlier -- with automatics.

It's enough that you'll notice a difference. it won't be night and day, but you'll notice it.

If you've got it, put it in for now. You won't notice a huge difference from the 3.08's, but when you get your 3.55's or 3.73's with trac-loc...
