I have an AOD and I run 2650 RPM at 70 MPH............with 4.10s I think you would run a lil higher....

I hear 3.73s for the t-5......I wish I had 4.30s though..............its addictive.

I dont think there is enough of a difference between 3.73's and 4.10's. I got a T-5 also and I'm probably gonna go with 4.10's because i dont want to regret NOT getting them if I happen to go smaller.
Go big or go home.

i think i agree with the forced induction going with 3.73s

i have a 5 spd with 4.10s and cant imagine getting traction 1st and 2nd gear on street with forced induction unless having really nice tires which would suck to keep buying after burning them off for fun.(why i might get nitrous rather than a s/c considering what i have now)

but i also get 20+mpg on highway with my motor and 4.10s which i consider awesome since i know its not all "slow" highway driving through the whole tank anyways.
