A 2.95 T-5 gearset would help (and be cheaper).

Good point here. I have the 2.95 first gear and .63 overdrive. It was for this reason I went from 3.73 to 4.10. I needed more gear down low, but this was with track performance in mind. I think the 4.10 behaves like most T5's with a 3.73. So perhaps it would make your 3.73 behave like a 3.55.

That would be me that's hates me 3.73s
I boderline hate my 3.73's. Maybe they'd be alright if my car was fast i dunno but as for now I'm turning rpms and goin nowhere. I doubt I'll swap em out anytime soon due to labor costs but I kinda want to but I'm not sure which to go with. I had the 2.73s so I guess any is an improvement


Not about to swap to a t-56 though. I'd either drop to 3.55s or purchase an aftermarket t-5 5th hear with a taller ratio

Honestly, if noise is the problem, then your best and most affordable option is a better set of mufflers. My car with 3.55s doesn't bother me with noise anywhere from 70 to 90mph.

Eh man its not just the noise its hard to explain. When I'm cruising at 70 its not at a comfortable rpm. It feels like its jut gonna keep pullin. It won't settle down and cruise.
