For low boost it would probably be OK. As Teej said, the tires water down the gear. It wouldn't be much different from running 3.73s on my car. The 'O6 also has a better suspension than my car. For high boost it would the be like any other high horsepower car and probably require higher gears. A lot of high horsepower guys go to 3.73s or even 3.55 gears.

I had 3.73's put in and they really made a difference, but now I am thinking I should have gone with the 4.10's like everyone suggested. I will never be boosted so I have been thinking hard replacing them. Good luck with whatever you choose!

i have 3.73 and i love them. lost maybe 1-2 mpg hwy but it seems as if it went up a small amount on city driving a few ppl claim th same. it tach's a lil bit higher than my stock gears and if i had 4.10s i personally think i would be suckin on th hwy. imo dd occasional track time 3.73. constant track time and mainly city driving 4.10 or 4.30! rpm change there Will be a change in mileage no way around that. depends on what ya using the car for mainly. i love my 3.73 over stock
