Default gears...

I was thinking about switching up the gears on my car. I have stock gears, is that 3.53 or 3.23 or something? Well anyway. I was wondering what I should get, either 4.10s or 3.73s. I'm not planning to get an s/c or a turbo if that makes a difference. I also only have an air filter as a mod right now. Although I've heard that 4.10s are worse for highway driving than 3.73s.

Any suggestions?

How much highway driving do you do? If you do a decent amount of highway/street driving, 3:73s are an all around good gear...but if highway driving isn't something you do often, go with 4.10s.

4:10s are a good choice then, in my opinion.

Aright then, you're an *******. 4:10s are NOT a good choice for highway driving. If he plans on driving rarely on the highway, fine...4:10s, but if you make daily trips on the highway, 4:10s are not what you want.

I do a lot of highway driving. I have 4.10s.
Nanaki has a supercharger and some moron told him to get 3.73s so he did. He is really pissed and upset at people on here for recommending them. He also drives on the highway.
Another guy made a post about how much 3.73s suck and he wanted 4.10s for highway driving.

Im not an ******* im just trying to make sure this guy doesnt get screwed like everyone else did.
