Default What Gears?

I comfrimed it today by turning the wheel and counting the turns of the driveshaft that i do infact have the stock 2.73 "viper killer" gears. after reading numerous post, i simply can't figure out what gears would best suit me. either 3.73s or 4.10s would do me fine i think. my ride is a 94 gt convertible with an automatic transmission. i love neck snapping acceleration more than high speed. any information will be appreciated.

You have to ask yourself : where is the car mainly going to be used?

Highway - 3:55's or 3.73's
City - 4.10's all the way

You don't want to do any sort highway driving with 4.10's

I highway drive with my 4.10's just dont go any faster than 70mph and you're fine.. 4.10 all the way! If you really like neck snapping acceleration go with 4.30's!
