RE: 3.73s or 3.90s... or 4.10s
I just installed 4.10s in my N/A DD car it is nice, but I also miss pulling car to 60 in second gear. Today I had the car in 4th gear approximately close to redline which is 5750, I think I was about 5500 RPM at 100 MPHs. It all depends what you are looking for. I would say if you go to the track alot 4.10s would be good or 3.90s.
With 4.10s you have no slop in revs but for all around DD I am thinking 3.73s would have been better choice for me since I do not go to the track.
It seems like you have your mind made up with 3.90s but as far as gas mileage I am about 17-18 miles per gallon vs 19.

I drive 500 to 750 miles per week (mostly on I-95, 10, and 75 in Florida and Georgia), and am not at all disappointed I went with 3.73s. On average they cost me 1.0 to 1.5 mpg (a solid 24.0 down to 21.5 to 23.0).[/align][/align]Also,after driving 3k miles with them I am certain that having engine spinning2800 at 80 mph (w/ 4.10s), rather than 2500 at 80 (3.73s) would wear thin after a while. It is of course a factthat it's "only 300 rpm" more that the 3.73s, however I know that after 250 miles on I-10 it would become annoying.[/align][/align]So, as other have said, if you don't drive a lot and can live with a 3 to 4 mpg hit, go with the 4.10s; otherwise I think the 3.90s or 3.73s will make the most sense--BTW, 80 with the 3.90s will be 2615 rpm or so...[/align]
