I'm getting the exact same mileage as stock from my 3.73's since I bought them!

Oh wait, they're STILL in the @#$%&* box on the shelf!! Never mind.
Hopefully I'll get them installed before too much longer

I like my 4.10s but there are benifits to each. If you read the forums, I assume you've read the gear thread already? If not, go to the tech articles and read it. Better yet, read everything in the tech articles thread.

since ur NA (naturally aspirated) definitely go with the 4.10s u won't regret them. if u plan on supercharging in the future they might be a little too much tho. that's my dilemma right now...i'm gonna hafta take my car back to a shop and have higher gears put in because of the supercharger

I lost 2 mpg after my 3.73s were installed.
