Default RE: new gears

Most everyone likes what they have, be it 3,73s, 3.90s, 4.10s or even 4.30s, although some with 3.73s say they wished they'd gone with more gear. The two most popular choices are 3.73 and 4.10. I couldn't make up my mind so I went with 3.90s. Quite happy. For what it's worth, I turn about 2400rpm at 75mph in 5th.

But like Mustangman said -- the rpm difference between the gears isn't that big. If gas mileage is your biggest concern, don't do gears at all -- the stock 3.27s are a nice compromise between MPG and acceleration.

4.10s. nothing but 4.10s.

65 mph is about 2200 rpm. not bad on gas at all.

the car should come from the factory with 410s. You will be surprised how much quicker you car will be, it is easy to cruise around town and they are fine on hte highway for all but the traveling salesman.

dude before you leak wrong information into some noobs head ....top end and top speed are two differnt things and you have NEVER SEEN YOUR CARS TOP END or top speed for that matter.... with gears your top speed is still well over what you will ever go.....and that is meaning 150+ mph....
