Thumbs up Gears

I would say go with 4.10 gears, this will give you a very noticable difference in the way of acceleration. But, if you're concerned with millage, and top speed I'd go with the 3.73. It also depends on what size tires you have(how tall are your tires?). 3.73 gears would be a good compramise between 3.55 & 4.10. If you are drag racing I would definantly go with the 4.10, but if you plan on supercharging or using NOS later on down the line I would go with the 3.73.
Hope I helped.
