Go with 4.10's or 4.30's.

I got 21 mpg on the highway with full bolt-ons and cams with 4.10's - your mileage won't really change unless you change your driving style - you'll just find yourself using 4th gear where you used to use 3rd, and using 5th more often.

JD 4th should take you to 115 or so with 4.10's @ 6050 rpm (rev limiter), 4.30's would be around 110 mph

DUDE!!! NO WAY! Im redlining in 4th as I cross over and that was at 105 mph. LOL I was in fifth gear going down the highway beside my friends fox and I got it to 135 EASYILY!!! LOL
I was referring to 4th gear JD, not 5th. Amd rev limiter is at 6050 redline at 5800 (I think we were referring to different things. Top speed at 6050 in 5th with 4.10's in an 01.5 - 04 GT is 168

Ok. I know as soon as I past the traps I look down and im dead on the red line. I NEVER take it to the rev limiter.

Oh yeah, in that your first vid you pegged the limiter twice. [8D]

My '01 has 3.73's and the wife's '00 has 4.10's. The 4.10's definitely have alot more grunt, but I do like my 3.73's.

No joke. LOL The revs climb a lot faster with 4.10's.

but if u have a s/c u dont want to have 4:10's right? u want to go w/ the 3:73's do i have this correct?[X(]

Thats correct because you will be hitting the rev limiter way short of the traps with 4.10's. Im red lining in fourth as I cross the line @ 105 mph.
