Default 3.55 or 3.73
I have a stock 89 GT. My first purchase I am getting ready to make is a rear gear. Which would be best, and is there that much difference in the two. I plan on going on trips to the mountains in the summer, so there will be some highway travel.

tech questions IMO are just that problems that need to be solved REGARDING the drivibility and or operation of your vehicle or technical questions regarding the installation of parts

the question you should be asking is 4;20s or 4;30s? in all seriousness though 3;73s.
