we need more info on your car.. what tranny, what mods, what are your intentions, do you do a lot of highway driving or are you 1/8th mile or are you 1/4 mile? rule of thumb is 3.73 for auto and 3.55 for 5 spd... those are good middle of the road gears and they wont rev too high on the highway... it'll cost you about $400 from summitt for 3.73, trak lok rebuild kit and install kit plus u'll need 3 quarts of gear oil... and if your kit doesn't come with the whale sperm (trak lok additive or limited slip additive) then you'll need that too!

BEST MOD EVER!!!!!

And than add in atleast $400 dollars to have the gears/trac lok kit installed. Also, if you do not drive on the highway all day long and its an automatic I would go with 4.10's (guessing that you just have minor bolt ons, etc.). If you are going with a blower or something in that area than I personally wouldnt go any higher than 3.73's.
