I believe 3.55 is enough for a street car, especially if you have some power.
i agree

ORIGINAL: 2 kwik

don't ya like laughing at the guy who has say 4:10's 400 horsepower and a moped leaves him at the light
i hope to have 500rwhp but i dont have gears and im sure mm car wont be all that fast.... i agree suspension is requiere... brakes help but i have cobra brakes so im not to worried... id like to get some better rotors tho

first off are you auto or 5spd?

i have 3.73s and i love them and it is my daily driver and its not bad on gas at all.. i just drove up to New england dragway and back roughy 150miles there and 150miles back.. on the wat there i sat in traffic alot of i couldnt check the gas mileage.. on the way back tho w/ cruise set at 65mph i drove about 168miles and then filled it w/ 7.5 gallons. = 22.4 mpg highway and around townit seems to be better than my 2.73s cuz i can use 5th more so the rpm at 45 is at like 1500 instead of 1900. 3.55s would be a waste of ur time and money cuz there is very little difference between them in the first place
