Default Glad I went with 3.73's

So I have had my gears in for a couple of weeks now and I am so glad I went with 3.73's and not 4.10's. I am having to shift a lot more and I think the 4.10's would have been way too much. As it is I am shifting through 2nd before I even get across an intersection. The car feels a lot more responsive and really revs up fast. I have even gained a couple more MPG's, because I am in 5th more then before. Now I need to install my MGW shifter this weekend. Looking forward to some more precise shifts. Then a dyno tune with my Sniper and I should be good to go.

3.73s are always a solid choice... You're going to love the shifter too. Night and day difference on these cars.

Happy with my choice. Peppy but not unruly with stock tires and suspension.

Happy with my 3.73's as well... They pick up well enough for me... 1000x better than the 3.27's

I battled between the 4.10's and 3.73's for some time, and then went with the 3.90's. I'm really glad i did too. It works out perfectly with my n/a and nitrous setup.
