With 3.73's you will notice alittle bit of a gain in acceleration, but if you get 4.10's it will be even a bigger difference. 4.10's usually lower your 1/4 mile time by .2-.3 seconds, so get 4.10's.

Get 4:10's unless you plan on going s/c or t/c then go 3:73. If you did get 3:73 you will know a heck of a diff from stock. Are you auto or stick. In a auto 4:10 are like 3:73 in a stick.

I noticed an immedate and very large difference going from the stockers to 3.73s. The gears were the biggest difference in the car boltons wise.

I have a 02 GT. I love the 4:10 gears I installed. Gas milage is worse, but life is too short not to have fun. Consider them over 3:73's. You won't be sorry.
