if our putting gears on your daily driver...do 3.73s....
my car is my daily driver, it's a 5 speed and it's blown. i'm going with 4.10s when all my other work is done. i listened to people like you and got 3.73s. that was a $500 mistake.
nan, your car is similiar in power to mine, i am actually think of going from my 410s to 373s for more highway speed. at 70, i really cant drop to 3rd and take off, 4th will go but not like it would be dropping to 3rd. you have an idea what speed in each gear you get when hammering on it?

Honestly unless you are running a real sticky tire (alot more stickey than a nitto d/r) I dunno why you want more gear.
2000, same question 2 u as i did nanaki, what speed do you run in your gears with 373s when getting on it?

4:10's for the win.
4.30s for a 01.5+ if you dont mind a short first gear, overdrive is fine though

Now get that supercharger slapped on and let's see what kind of traction you get
with a centrifical hell be fine

if i had his exact car, i would probably have 4.30s, your only gonna spin if you have your foot resting on the firewall

why does everyone make a big deal about 4.10's ... whats the main reason people love them. I too myself was considering adding them, but wasnt sure about why everyone loves them. (ex: better around town? better for highway? acceleration faster?)

Acceleration for the most part. It really gives you that throw you back in the seat feeling now. and to the guy who asked me about driveability...If you keep your foot out of it, you really cant tell the diffrence in the gear. I dont seem to shifting every second like the rumors state it and the only time I can tell I have 4.10's is when the pedal is too the floor and the RPMS shoot way up. I sit at bout 2500 goin 70 on the highway and it really is not that bad of a drop in MPG.
