well if u drive it on the highway alot go with 3.73's i have 4.10 behing my 5 speed and i am going 55 mph at 2k in fifth gear. i think in your case you should go with 3.73 cause you proly dont go to the track that often

3.73 are the best gear, you may even want 3.55 because you do have some nice mods.

I would probably go with 3.73 if i were gonna do it again. if all else fails go with the 4.10s and some taller tires in the rear. if your gonna run 4.10 with a 28" tire your looking at 2200rpm at 65mph.

I just recently found out that the 3.90 ring and pinion combo is "actually" a 3.89. Its just advertised as a 3.90.


Worthless info, but still info.
