gears, but go bigger 4.10s, you will be 10x happier with a difference you can actually feel and trust me, you will feel a big difference.

I recommend purchasing the bearing kit also on American muscle, and the install should be around $150 at least that's what I paid, and that's from a known shop.

I went with 3.90s and I can't give a review on them because I haven't driven it yet lol but I have a a slightly longer mod list than you so I suggest 4.10s, I hear allot of the bolt on guys going 4.56s you might wanna think about tht.

If your suggesting he go with a smaller gear because of it, I suggest he worry about that once the power adder is installed, and he can change gears then. At this point his mod list is really short and this will help allot.
