Default 3.73 or 4.10 Gears?

So, you can look in my sig for my mods. But I'm planning on getting gears, so which one should I get. What are the pros and cons?

I heard 3.73 gears are just as good as 4.10, except they eat up less gas. And that 4.10 gears are useless for a V6 and 3.73's are just fine.

Need help, thanks.

I'm a daily driver too, 3/5 city, 2/5 highway.

I've been leaning towards 3.73's for a long while, but I just want to know how much more gas the 4.10's will be using.

I have 3.73s + t-lok. My mileage is barely affected, but I noticed a massive increased acceleration at any speed. Love them!! 4.10s are simplly going to have even harder launches, but the mileage is going to be decreased (particularly highway) since your RPMs will be near 3k while cruising. For a DD, 3.73s are perfect, and if you're going F/I, you should choose 3.73s too.

depends on what you want out of your car. there are no cons to either ratio as long as it fits your needs. i am completely satisfied with my 3.73's. they are perfect for my driving style. first figure out what style of driver you are then choose your gears.

X-charger = 3.73s or 3.45s or hunt around for a used 8.8 with 3.55s

unless you plan on doing heavily ported heads and an agressive cam
