I have 3.90s and love em. I would of been disappointed if I went with 3.73s but im not going with 4.10s since mines a stick and daily driver and I dont want to have to shift every second. Like someone said above if your going f/i you might want to go with 3.73s but I know of some people running with 3.90s has well. I think its a good mid gear if you dont think 3.73s are enough and that 4.10s are to much. If you are running an auto though I would recommend 4.10s

Sorry guys, I didn't even look at the year model. I was also wrong anyway, Steeda now makes speedo gears for many ratios up to the 4.10.

My only regret with 4.10s is I ran out of gear at the track. I have a 5 speed and trapped 111 when I hit my rev limiter 3/4 of the way down the track at 6250 rpms on 265/35/18 wheels. 4.10s are a great around gear even and no problem with being blown either. At 3,000 rpms in a 5 speed you will be going 90 mph.

Thanks alot for the responses. I must apologize for just now sending this reply but I had no ideal that anyone had even posted a response. At one time I would receive an email when responses were posted. I guess I will have to look into why this feature isn't working. I guess I'm still torn between the 3:73's and the 3:90's. I guess when the time comes to place the order I will just have to make a gut decision and live with it or hell just order both, see which I like best and sell the set I don't use. Thanks again everyone.
