General sentiment on this board is go with the 4.10's. Around $180 for the gears, around $150-$200 to install.</P>


Underdrive pullys and timing adjuster are a good mod as well.</P>

Do 3.90's . You'll be happy. 3.73's arent enough and 4.10's are too much. Motive makes 3.90's and so Does PRO 5.0. Good luck

I would go with 3.73's because 4.10's are too much for high way driving cause you will be reving it really high on the highway. If you had an auto then you should go with a 4.10, because an auto tranny takes away hp to run it. So go with 3.73 and PRO 5.0 is very good. So I second that.

how will the 3.73 feel. i dont drive car that much, but it is highway driving to work. will the 3.73 rev high, or will it be comfortable at 65-70. plus is it a noticable pick up in the *** of the car. thanks for any help.<IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0">

Trust me, go with the 3.90's... The 3.73's are ok but you'll be at about 2500 to 3000 at 70 mph with the 3.90's and with 3.73's youll be in the 2000 to 2250 range.

3.73s over stock are awesome. They don't add too much RPMon highway, but pull a lot harder than thestock 3.27s. I have Ford Racing and from what I've heard, read, and experienced that is the best for fit, easy (professional) installation, and no tranny noise. </P>


You'll need to add a ratio conversion computer for any size other than stock to get your MPH and odometer to read correctly.It costs about $110 online and is relatively easy to DIY install. </P>


Good luck.</P>
