i am not sure of gears
i know that you shouldn't "fear the gear" or whatever, but im not sure whether i should order my 2011 5.0 with 3.55 or 3.73 gears. i would like some numbers that i could use in my decision between the two. like mpg loss, top speed loss (i hope i'll be able to test that, lol) and such. what would the 0-60 difference be? like what, .1 or .2 seconds difference? i need some guidance

i recently got some gears education so i can kind of help (thanks Gene!)
are you going to the tracks? if you are, 3.55's will be the best because on 3.73's you'll be hitting the rev while crossing the line, slowing you down.
i'm personally going 3.55's when i get the chance because the gearing of the new 6 speed makes 3.55's equivalent to 3.73's

I wouldn't worry about gas mileage cuse it's gonna be crap at first with how much your gonna be jumping on that thing. But being honest I was also told the 3:55 in the new car is equal to a 3:73 with a five speed cause of the gearing. I personally would still get the 3:73.
