Should i go with the 3.55 or 3.73, I don't want to go any higher.

Give me your money instead if you plan on throwing it away on 3.55's.

You need to go with 3.73's or 4.10's with a supercharger. You are going to have to compensate for all the extra HP anyways (with tires), so why not go 4.10 and get the most bang for your buck?

4.10's, bearing kits, vortech supercharger.

edit: 3.55 wouldn't be enough of a change from the stock 3.27 to really feel a difference... And from someone who has 3.73's.. Get the 4.10's...
