I still think 3.73's are your best bet for all around use. Definitely go the "gears" route before the plenum, etc.

I added a TB Plenum combo on the stock set up and timed it with a G-Tech and the car was not at all any faster, not even 1 tenth. It may have even been a tenth slower.

ORIGINAL: Soaring

Bottom end will improve, but they are talking about 75 MPH highway use. Why go beyone 3:55's for this application?
4.10's will be about 200 rpm higher than 3.73's at 75 mph, but will make a huge improvment in how fast the car accelerates

What set of gears would you guys recommend for my auto? After reading this thread it seems 3.73's would be good for all around driving and this is my daily driver. With stock gears I'm at bout 2200 rpm at 75mph, where would I be at rpm wise with the 4.10's or 3.73's for that matter?

You may have gone to big or with your set up, it just wasnt a crucial piece. Different set ups are going to give totally different stats.
