You would notice a difference from 3.27s. I went from 3.08s to 3.55s and it was quite noticable.

yes, from a 3.27 to 3.55 you will feel about nothing. from 3.08 to 3.55 you will. i used to have 3.73 and i gotta diff 5.0 so now im getting 3.73's again, stock in mine 5 speed is 3.08 and 3.55 is OK...but go with 3.73's they kick! and your rpm will only go up about 400 is 5th gear, not too bad

Hell yeah, when I first got mine I noticed big difference. I had 3.08s originally in mine I think (95 GT) It was fun, then the demand for more power came. But it is a great upgrade.

Dude you must be sick of telling people to get the 4:10s with AOD.....when I first joined you were rallying it..........you should change your name to like NEVER FEAR THE GEAR or something, I concide with his advice AOD and 4:10s go together like a video camera and paris hilton
