IMO the jump from 3.55 to 3.73 wont be noticed or enjoyed as much as getting the 4.10's instead. Your money but IMO is a waste if going up only one size. Many threads on this and the seat of the pants feel with the 4.10's and the fact that you can still cruise at 75-80 mph and still have some decent MPG. If you had 3.31's then the jump to 3.73's would be worth it but to each their own and its your money.

mygt500 is correct, if you have 3.55 and only go to 3.73 you wont feel much of a difference and a ton of people here love the 4.10 and the side effects are you will be at a higher rpm on the highway. you will also lose about 2 mpg. but you will feel a huge difference.

Here's another question...I'm running the stock bullits on my car (235 Front and Back) and was wondering how well does the car stick with 3.73's as compared to the 4.10's?
