Depends on what you are running. I would not trade my FMS 4.56 gears for anything else. With my combo the 3.73 that I removed, with Nitto Drag Radials would not start to hook up until I hit 4th gear. With the 4.56 and the drag radials warmed up, the car hooks so hard that I ripped the seat bracket right out of the floor from throwing me back in the seat.

1st gear is always the best!!

4.10's are a pretty solid gear whether you go stick or auto.

4.10 for auto, 3.73 for 5spd, if your not afraid of rpms and gas get 4.10 either way.
