I'm getting some gears installed next weekend.
But I was going to get 3:73s. I'm thinking about fuel economy as I do highway driving from time to time.
But isn't 4:10s too much for daily driving? I mean it just keeps shifting?
How short is first gear now? A second or less?

Sort of off topic.. but isn't it "4.10" and not "4:10"... I see people swapping between the two and only 1 is correct.
Isn't it really 4.10:1 because it's a ratio?

I think it's common to go from 3:31 to 3:73 in an auto.

4.10s provide a 1 mpg drop over 3.73s and that is only on the highway, and your still not going to have the power to completey reach your top speed the only people that say 4.10s are to much are those that have never had tehm

On one of your next trips, document what rpm your showing at 70mph. I got 3.73's and i show about 3000 rpms @ 70mph.

I run at exactly 2000 rpms at 70 mph with my 3.31. No way is 1000 rpm difference between 3.31 and 4.10 only 1 mpg. No FREAKING way!

I've had them on other cars and IMO, they are too much. Too with 2 o's.
