I think 410s are normally recommended going that route. But then also what if i grew a pair and did supercharger and cams...in that case would 373 be ok. Sorry for all the scenarios, i just wanna go the best way. Supercharger would be a lil while aways so would 373 put a smile on my face at least?

I have Cams in my 05 auto. It sucks so bad with the stock gears. I do drive a good amount of highway so 3.73 would be the better move, but I am going 4.10 because I fear I'll still be disappointed because of the cams low end.

Took about 30 min to put on and im not very mechanically inclined. Now i feel like being like them old people who drive down the road with their blinker on

Performance wise, its a toss up. They suck on the bottom end, but up top I can definitely feel it pull harder. For ~$1150 installed, I was disappointed. Its my own fault though. Brenspeed's description even suggest to get gears. I just didn't think it would be so bad. The Cams do sound sweet, but not $1150 sweet

.

If you are serious about cams, you have to get gears with them unless an SC is in the VERY near future. So factor in another $600 for the gears. Those with 3.55 may be satisfied, but I doubt it. Like I said, I'm skipping right over 3.73 and going for 4.10s
