the serach function is useful, but id say for a 5-speed since ur starting w/ a low gear already (most cases a 2.73) then got 3.73's. 4.10's you'd be shifting ALOT

i'm not sure. nobody has ever asked a question like this before. maybe we should all take a while to think about it...............................or maybe using the search button will give you over 100 pages to read.

4.10's will make the biggest difference, but will tach higher if your doing alot of highway driving. If you do alot of city, and a little highway driving id say 4.10's. If you always gonna be running highway and doing alot of higher speed interstate travel id go 3.73's.

Either one is gonna be a jump over stock. I think generally most people say 4.10's tach about 200rpm higher than 3.73's do (I think, not positive).

I have a buddy that put 4.30's in his auto and its insane.
