go with 3.73's if you like the highways. 4.10's are great off the line, but WILL slow you down on the highway. and not to mention more money for gas.
you obviously have never had gears, they will actually increase your top speed because they allow you to use OD.

if you go with a twin screw blower i would think you need 3.55s because you need to be able to build boost, idk so dont quote me on that, if you stay N/A go with 4.10s or a centrifical supercharger go with 4.10s

There is NOT that much difference between 3.73s and 4.10s. I still want to see a race between 2 identical cars with just the gears different.

Put it this way. Whats the BEST increase you have ever seen (not heard, seen) at the track from just a gear swap?? Now cut that by about 1/4. Does it really make that much difference?

Gears are lame if you ask me. Daily driving a GT with 410s is absurd; 1st and 2nd gears last about .00002 secs each. Don't change them.

If you go w/out a SC, go 4.10. You'll love them. If you go KB , don't go any taller than 3.73. Your boost is so low you'll feel them very quickly. I am running a 5 speed also, not AT. I have the KB and the boost comes very quickly. If you go paxton or vortech, then yes, go 4.10. There boost comes higher up in the rpm's. I can start out in 2nd gear and still smoke my tires with my setup. Just my $.02.

you obviously don't have gears. gears are probably one of the best mods you can do and have the best bang for your buck...other than a s/c
