I already told you to get a 4.10 and NX 100 shot. you can get a full exhaust setup too, and do your complete intake. You need to be specific as to what you want from your car and how much you are willing to spend.

2000GT4.6 I have realized that you know your stuff... You don't see many people out there with actual knowledge like you have.
As far as 3.73s and 4.10s... I have 4.10s but if someone snuck in a set of 3.73's the difference would be so little that I probably wouldn't even realize it except in 5th gear. 4.10s are a great gear, but they are not night and day different than 3.73s, I'm sure most people would only notice the difference by looking at their speed and RPMs in 5th gear.
And as far as top speed, 2000GT4.6 is yet right once again. A stock GT simply does not have enough power to pull 5th gear to redline with 3.27s, unless it was falling out of the sky. 3.73s or 4.10s will put your car in a more "power friendly" RPM range in 5th so that it will pull up to a higher speed easier.
I'd bet money that a stock GT with 3.73s has a higher actual top speed than one with 3.27s

With 3.73's you're at 5500 rpm doing 151
With 4.10's, it's 6000 rpms at 150
I'm not sure if you can say your top speed goes up with 3.73 or 4.10's. I know I would attempt to run to 150 in my car (I have 4.10's). If I made it, it would be a one shot deal as most likely my motor would go kaboom.

BTW, "highway racing" is stupid, and its for ricers. Wait till one of you has a blowout at 150+ from not using Z rated tires (even they will blowout). Gonna be in for the ride of your life, or maybe death. Any idiot can leave his car in 5th and floor it, while weaving in and out of minivans full of moms/kids. Hopefully though theres a cop nearby to see em do it.

According to the gear calculator website I was running 158 or so MPH at like 4500-4700 RPM with the 3.73s. Even with the 4.10s, your car will stop acclerating before you run out of gear. AKA, you will simply stop acclerating before you reach redline.
Plain and simple, you will reach a HIGHER max speed with a 3.73 or 4.10 gearset than you will with the stock 3.27/2.73 on a stock or near stock GT, espcially a NPI car.
