'96 gt rear end

I have a stock '96 Gt, 5 speed, and thinking of changing out the gears. Now this is an everyday car for me, so I'm trying not to hurt my gas mileage too bad, plus I really don't want to be cranking high rpm's on the highway, mainly just looking to wake it up a little. I was told 3.55's would be the way to go. Just wondering what everyone has to say.

Also, is there a big difference between 3.55's and 3.27's?

NO. I got 3.73's hoping for big difference, not much. If youre that worried about rpms and gas, go wih 3.55's.

Hey, just wondering what kind of rpm's you're turing in 5th doing about 70-75mph (highway) with the 3.73's?

RE: '96 gt rear end

3.90's you say...I would have never guessed that drastic of a change from stock. Does it really take that much to feel a real difference? I mean, I'm mainly looking for a little more pull, a little more jump, without really killing my gas milage...what are you swapping out with the 3.90's?
