There are several threads listed on the subject including one here regarding gas mileage:

I'd tell you to get 4.10's but to each his own. I think 3.73's you don't really feel enough.

4.10's you feel alot and they are nice for daily driving, many members will give you their own opinion although as a whole I think 4.10's are more common.

Some will say 3.73's are better for manual transmissions, I loved 4.10's in my auto, love them in the manual.

I'd advise you shop americanmuscle for them, it's where I got mine with the master bearing install kit (rec. if your car has higher miles aka 70k and up)

You should look to spend 130 if you get an off brand like motive, which tend to break or cause gear whine (annoying noise at high speeds, some people like it). Matter of opinion. I like my FRPP ones, they rock, no whine, no problems. Richmond has a good rep. aswell.

If you go FRPP expect to pay around 230. It's worth it, if you get motives you will need to buy two pairs, one for when the first pair breaks

Trust me, you won't be disappointed with 4.10s. However, I've heard from people that have had 3.73s installed say that they wished they'd gone with the 4.10s. __________________ 4.10s, K&N FIPK, C&L Power Pipe, XTD Stage 3 Clutch, Hooker Super Competition LT Headers & O/R X-Pipe, Magnaflow Cat-Back, Steeda Underdrive Pulleys, Cross Drilled & Slotted Rotors, Nitto 555s, Diablosport Tuner
