Going from 331s in an auto to 373s is that going to be a big difference in the feel or just got with the 410s

This topic has been beat to death, but here goes. I took out my 3.55's and went with the 4.10's, they were awesome. However due to the amount of high speed highway driving that I do, I changed them to 3.73 and found them to be a good comprimise. They're better than stock, just as quick through the gears as the 4.10's and 5th gear pulls much better , but at a lower rpm. The pluses are better fueleconomy than the 4.10's andyou can drive faster on the highway with them e.g. at the same rpm that 4.10's do 80 you'll be at 100 mph. The only negative I felt about the 4.10's with the exception of using more gas, was on wet pavement they were a bit tricky on takeoff. But whichever you choose it will be an improvement, enjoy your choice.
