you could always take the slow lane and don't pass 55-65.

(-:
but even then it's like at 2500 or so rpm.

I had always heard if you have an auto trans, 3.73 is best set up and comparible to 4.10s in the manual.

i had replaced my stock 17" wheels with 20's and quickly noticed the loss in torque and accleration with my stock 3.55 gears still in place. i replaced them with 3.90s . it made a nice difference, it basically brought the rpms in each gear back to what it was with having the 17" wheels and 3.55 gears. i thought it would do more though, so i will be putting in 4.30s this winter. with such a big wheel , i figure it would equate to 4.10s with a 17" or 18' wheel anyway. and i have no plans for fi. btw, my car is a manual.

If you have 3.55's stock, 4.10's are the right choice, otherwise 3.73's wouldn't be a very noticeable difference.
