4.10's n/a they will wake the car up, and yes btw you will want to get a bearing kit for your rear end when you put them in.

One more vote here for 4.10's. If you are worried that it is too much gear, stop it. My girlfriend lives 2 hours away and I drive up there every 2-3 weeks and I barley notice a difference in fuel mileage from stock gears and my rpms are under 3,000 at 80. Get 4.10's and dont look back. I was in the same boat as you were when deciding on which gear to run and I am so happy I made the right choice. My .02

I'm in the opposite boat. I had 4.10s and I hated them. I'm running a 5.4 now so my comparison is slightly skewed... but when I was a NA 4.6 I wish I had gone with 3.73s... and now I love my 3.55s

Get 4.10s if you plan to NEVER go forced induction. 3.73s or 3.55s if theres a chance youl go FI.

After that save your money and stop buying bolt ons, unless you like throwing money out the window.
