3.73 came std on my 08 Bullitt and as jdmcbride said, they are great for a DD. And, as many have stated, a tune will give you a good return for your $$$. After I got a tune from Brenspeed it really livened things up. Next came Steeda CMDPs and Steeda underpulleys and a corresponding tune. Nice jump that I could feel ITSOMPs.. I have 2 600w amps and, like you, was comcerned about charging but no problems there. Another upgrade you might consider is a cam. I installed a Comp Cam NSR Stage 2 and a custom tune from Fastlanes in Benson NC. Nice increase in power overall, 322 RWHP and 315 RWT.

Get the tune now and enjoy the power! As long as you buy performance parts from the same company that you purchase your tuner from (Breenspeed or AM for example) future tunes are free and are emailed to you. Takes just a few moments on your part to apply the new tune.

+1 good advice. The biggest increase in noticable power will be from a CAI + tune and gears. Tune first is your best starting place as you will need the tuner for everything else anyway.
