I'll go against the grain and say 3.73's
My reasoning is I'd still like to have my first gear, especially with city driving. I know many others would disagree, but I just like starting in first. I also like having a higher top speed in fourth.
Yes, 4.10's would be awesome, but for a DD, I'd go with 3.73's.

Well I've went full circle and drove with 3.55's, 4.10's, back to 3.55's and now 3.73's all though the 3.73's are in the Boss so it's a different car that I can't compare because it's a six speed. I can however tell you that with my 08'GT I had 4.10's put in before I went supercharged and I loved them but once I got the supercharger on I thought it was too much gear and it didn't really allow for the supercharger to really "work" and I couldn't hook for love of god so I went back to the 3.55's. All that said if you're staying NA I would go 4.10.

Hi everyone, sorry about the dump question. I'm going to install a new set of gear. I'm currently running stock 3.31, manual trans. I'm looking to get either 3.73 or 4.10. I mostly drive in city. What do you guys suggest? Thank you. and what is the different between the FRPP ones and the motive ones.

Ya, I did alot research these couple days. I'm not going to S/C this car, so 4.10s should be the ways to go..
Not sure if someone runs 410's with KB, but from what I saw was there are some Roushcahrged with 410's

Unless you are racing or looking for a weekend street bruiser, I say don't get the 4.10:1 rear gears.
For one, your TR3650 already has a very deep first gear, and with 4.10:1 rear gears, you will make first gear virtually useless (i.e. you will have to drive around starting off in 2nd gear). You can still start of in 1st gear, but you will have to shift to second very fast in a normal driving situation.
But at the drag strip, that 4.10:1 gear with the TR3650 1st gear makes for a great launch so long as you have the tires to put your torque on the asphalt where it counts.
Now, if you have a built aftermarket tranny with a first gear that is very shallow (some 1st gears in such trannies are only 2.5:1), then you definitely want the 4.10:1 rear gears to compensate.

I run 3.55's in both my cars. Both are supercharged, so I planned accordingly.
1. If I had a 5SP NA car I would not go more than 373's. If I had a 6SP NA car I would go 4.10's.
2. If I had an auto, I would stay at 3.55's.
Just my .02 & by the way most of the recommendations above are based on personal experience. Good luck!!!
