3.73:1 are an AWESOME gear, especially if you're blown, or plan to get blown. The difference in 4.10 to 3.73 is only ~250 rpms, not to much, and 4.10s will get a little better acceleration, but then again, 3.55:1 are great too(stock mach1). I raced my frined with 4.10s, and pretty much the same mods, and beat him out of the hole, and down the line, and Im on stock gears! Regardless, 3.73s are a great gear, Correct me if I am wrong, but GTs have 3.27:1 stock? Horrible gear, too slow off the line, you'll definately feel the difference..
PS-
On the rims, they look like cheap knockoffs of the steeda ultra-lite IIs :-p but you got the color right :-p

I'm pleased with my 3.73s....I wouldn't pay to get them redone. I would prolly do 4.10s if I did it again though.

People who bought 3.73's and look back now usually say one or two other things.
1. I bought the 3.73's (or 3.90's) cause i was afraid of the gas mileage hurt, but its not bad at all with 3.73's, damn, i should have done 4.10's
or
2. I bought 3.73's cause some moron had me convinced and promised me that 3.73's might be too much for me as it is, let alone going with gas sucking, engine straining, annoying 4.10's. Glad i followed his advce

Pansy's! 4.30s, like Dans old gears on his GT.
4.3 final is teh way.
Unless you're blown... then it'll be more of a pain in the ***.
