Default wat gears are good for my car

ok so i hear that if u have a manual transmisson then u should go with 3.73 and if u have a auto go with 4.10

Thats just considaring daily driving. A manual would suck at 3.41 bc of the high RPMs highway.

gears make no difference in power, they just change how fast you accelerate they don't add or take away power.

+1 It depends on your setup, how you use the car, etc. If its just a bolt on car that doesnt see alot of highway driving I would get 4.10's but thats just my .02. Everyone has different opinions on gears...
