What is the difference between 4.10s and 3.73s (top speed, acceleration, gas mileage)

+1..3.73 for auto 4.10 for manual..4.10's hurt gas mileage a little but nothing i can tell.i love my 4.10's but being im on the interstate alot i would have gone for 3.73's,also with my x pipe and slp lm1 they scream about 80. just my .02..good luck on choosing.
my top speed on 4.10's is about 145,havent gotten it any higher,dont have 3.73 so could say,but if you search there are so many threads about this exact topic it'll make you sick.

you can use this to see the difference in RPM's and top speed between 3.73 and 4.10

oh yes fast enough,you see it lowers 5th so low its like an extra gear for climbing,instead of just a plain over drive,i usually shift out of 4th about 80 if im racing around 120 or so then shift to fifth.I really enjoy them but like i said if you do alot of interstate driving head for the 373 especially if you have a loud exhaust,i love the sound of it but after a couple of months it kind of drownes,and gets on my nerves every once in a while

A buddy of mine suggested 3.93's (or maybe 3.83's?) when I brought up gears. A friend of his drives an 04 GT 5 speed and just bought these gears for his, but hasn't put them in yet. I'm curious as to how they are going to work out. Of course, my car is an auto...
