Sounds like 3.31's if it's an auto; 3.55's if it's manual. Tough to say without exact RPM/speed values for a few different data points.

well ill get more data this week for you, its real crappy out now, not about to go driving. I just want to know because i am thinking about getting gears and cams. Im not sure between 3.73s and 4.10s in the summer i drive highway alot and i dont want terrible gas mileage. also i hear with the 4.10s at higher speeds when you slam the gas that kick isnt there anymore with the down shift and it doesnt pull as strong as it does with lower gears(from a dig i hear its unbelievable though). idk how much truth there is to any of that but.. i cant decide...

If you drive much highway, especially at speeds where your engine is turning over 2000 RPM, your fuel mileage will suffer. PM me with your e-mail and I'll forward some spreadhseets so you can see what RPM's you'll turn for given combinations of tire size and gear ratio.
