I personally think it's a little much for a manual

i have 4.10's w/ a 5spd. Most recomend 4.10's for auto and 3.73 for 5spd, but i like mine. And they were on the car when i bought it, and the difference between the 2 are pretty small, so its not even worth me changing. GET EM !

WAY TOO MUCH! If its a track only car then yeah, but if most of the time you drive on the street, a 3.73 or 3.55 would be better. I have an AOD with 3.73's in my ranger, hate that thing on the highway spins like 3k at 70 with 245/45/17 on the rear.

Yeah, hey whats first gear again? With a 4.10 you should rename first and call it the creeper gear. With a mildly built 302, with 3.73's youll get sideways when you hit third. Hell when I first put my car together, I get sideways with my 3.27.
