Why wouldn't you just get 4.10's. It would only be a 150 or so rpm difference. You'd probably get 2 mpg less than you would with 3.90's.

it has nothing to do with gas mileage to some people. but trap speed is the issue, you want a gear that goes thru the trap about 500 below redline. this gives you alot more variation for that.

^^ Exactally, its not because of gas mileage that Im getting them. I'm matching my tire, stall, cam, and gears together.
