373's on highway used car?
I want to put gears in my car but am afraid the revs will be too high. It is a daiily driver and runs the highway 25mins each way to work and back. Are 373's a good choice or should I go with 355's. Anyways thanks for any help.

get 4.10's!!!!!! There is a minimunal difference in rpm's (like 200rpm) DO NOT GET THE 3.55!!!! You will not be happy with them at all. I have a auto and do a good bit of highway driveing and when I get gears (next month) I am going to get the 4.10's!!!!

You give us no information on your car, year, transmission, tire size.....
DIVER8374 is correct, with a 3650 trans it's only about a 200RPM difference between 3.73s and 4.10s
Go with the 4.10
Check out THIS LINK to see what you will tach with different gears

You should be just fine @ 2100RPM
Go ahead and doun shift to 4th and drive at 2100RPMs for a while to get a feel of how it will be, if you have an exhaust on your car it usually puts it into the "drone" area.....but I like that sound

Yeah, assuming your car is a manual those RPMs are about correct.
You will find a BIG difference on the highway if you go with 3.73 or 4.10 - I have the 4.10s in my car and they **** me off on the highway but I don't see that the 200 RPM difference between them and the 3.73 would be much different.
The 3.55s are a waste of time and money - you won't notice much difference between them and the stock 3.27s
You can't really win this battle. It's always going to be a compromise.
