4.10's with the Auto, I believe that your car comes factory with 3.55's? You won't notice much of a difference from that to 3.73's. You won't notice a difference in fuel economy drop between 3.73's and 4.10's either. It will have about the same effect on fuel economy.

I had a tag on my pumpkin that said 3.55. There are other ways to tell, like jacking up the car and turning the tires and counting the rotation of the drive shaft.

If it were a 2V I wouldn't say this but I would probably go with a CAI and tuner from AM. 3v's respond so well to bolt on's that it's sickening. After that, I would probably go with some gears (410's) and maybe a TB and plenum combo, then suspension. GL!
