damn...i have brand new FR 3.55's in the box that i was gunna put in my ride but i think that i want the 3.73's for a quicker launch. So do u guys really think that there is a HUGE difference between these two?. The newer cobras came with 3.55's stock right?. So wouldnt that be a good addition to a 360hp ride?.

3.73s are the all around best gear. i have plenty of first gear and plenty of pull in 3rd and 4th. im keeping them when i go boosted.

I dont know, but I had 3.73's and they sucked! Go with 4.10's all the way.. Not too radical for street IMO...

I have 3.55 and I like it a lot. You know, there is no right or wrong answer with this. It really
just depends on what you want. simple. It might cost you alittle bit to try both, but if you can
do it yourself, try them, see what you like. If not, choose one and stick with it. You can always modify things later. Especially if you want to add a turbo or supercharger.
