when i had my 2.73's i got a 27mpg run one time and with my 4.10s i can only get about 25mpg. nots bad for a 50% jump in gear! its really the driver and not the gear when it comes to mpg.

as for headers lt's are nice but if you are not installing them yourself then i would prob just stick with the stock headers like mention before. some really good info here, its a very good idea to not jump on buying performance upgrades. A bit of research goes a long way, but remember dont believe everything you read :P

Whats the mpg if any over stock gears compared to 4.10's?
If you are not planing on racing your car why do you want to get gears??? and do not modify your fuel system if you are not going to add high HP... no need if only going with bolt ons and gears....

Do yourself a favor and save a little longer and buy a good set of LT headers. I race FS in the NMRA and we have tested several different sets of LT headers. We picked up the most power on the dyno with American Racing Headers. There really is a difference between a $600 set of LT headers and a $1000 set.

As far as gears go, NO DOUBT, go with the 4.10 gears.
