turn off caps and stop using "N" in place of "and" before you ask questions.

get 4:10s. thats what i have and i love them. the higher the number the shorter the gear. soo you wont have that much acceloration with 373's but may have a little more top end.

If you want to sacrafice a little bit of gas milage for much better acceleration get 4.10s and if you want inproved acceleration but not amazing get 3.73s. I personally like 3.73s because i don't lose any top end speed and it doesn't kill my gas milage

ok i did not loose any mpg. if you dont drive like a maniac it should change. and you wont ever get fast anough to see the difference in top end anyways. its not like you are gonna cruze at 120 anyways.

You'll be able to hit your top speed with a higher ratio gear much faster than with stock gears. You may lose 10mph on the top end, but it's way more fun blasting up there then it is staying there.
