unless your going with a roots/twin screw or a turbo (3.73), go 4.10s, you will loose 2 mpg on the highway and stay the same in the city and have a lot more performance off the line up through the RPM band

just fyi. yeah the 4.10's will give you a really good launch but your gonna be running a lot higher RPM on the highway. so i would say 3.73 just so you dont kill your car while your crusing the highway

well yeah seeing how it is a higher gear than what you have stock. just it wont be as big of a launch as a 4.10. but your car/engine will like the 3.73's a lot more because it wont have to be running as hard just to maintain 65-70 mph
