Yea, I got 3.73s, still waiting to install tho. If you are going to stay N/A everyone will tell you to go ahead and step up to 4.10s. Personally, i think 3.73 is perfectly fine. And yes, the flowmaster drone at 70 mph will be gladly missed once I get these gears in.

MPG is a direct reflection of where you keep your foot.

My mpg's have increased a little bit since I can stay in my torque band more easily, and 5th gear is actually useful now lol

I've read quite a few posts from people taking out 4.10s and putting in a higher gear. A few months ago there was an entire thread dedicated to it on one of the forums.

I drive 500 miles per week and lost approximately 2 mpg when I installed 3.73 gears.

Just installed them a few nights ago. Engine revs higher but not as much as I thought it would and its too soon to tell how they are on gas. Knocked three tenths off my quarter mile time but I know it could have been more because I was spinning off the line.
