Well if I'm not mistaken, you have 3.55's right? 4.10's are the only way to go IMO. Gas milage is not bad. If you do LOTS of highway driving, that might suck, but going to 3.55's to 3.73's seems a little pointless to me.

Are you auto or 5spd?

Mine runs ~2750 at 75. Not too bad. 10-15 miles isnt bad at all. Go Ford racing 4.10's.

They are worth every penny. And especially with your 4v, which has a higer powerband. Steeper gears means more time in the powerband.
