I am happy w/ 3:73's. Virtually no whine...which was a big issue for me as this is my daily driver.

We had a 73 Camaro with 4:10's and it whined like crazy...I couldn't stand it. So I never even considered the 4:10's for myself. It was probably just that car...but I didn't want to take the chance.

4.10s might not be the greatest idea with the insane gas prices.

i was getting 26/27 mpg before my 3.73's. i got 24mpg this weekend on the highway. i would expect 4.10's to get me 23mpg at best. more gas is burned but gears sure are fun! i wouldnt go back to stock .

you guys are missing the fact that he has an X-charger listed in his sig, the roots/twinscrews make power right off idle, you dont want short gears, if you could find a used GT rear with 3.55s it would probably be ideal
