I have 3.73 and at 70mph i am running 2300 rpm. If you like to take your car for cruisies, buy 3.73. I am very happy I went with them instead of 4.10.

well in the end you have no business trying to make more power/go faster without putting any tire under it.

you could always go with 3.90's as well.....

+1 If you're confused on whether to go with 3.73's or 4.10's, meet yourself in the middle lol

Motive 3.90's

I've got 3.55's in which were a mistake. The performance improvement was noticeable, but riding in my buddies car with 40~ less whp and 4.10s feels like its pulling the butt dyno harder, and he averages about 18 mpg, where as I average about 20 and we both drive aggressively. I'm going with 4.10s in the very near future and I won't be crying over the 2mpg; My old ride used to average 13 mpg.
