4.30's, but its not my dd, Is your car an auto or stick, general rule of thumb is 4.10's for an auto, and 3.73's for a stick

Depends what you u want to do..... Different people have different tastes. Personally, I have 4.30's in my daily driver, but want to switch to 3.73's. I'm doin 80mph at about 2800 rpm. The 4.30's are WAY too much gear for my E-303 cam. First gear is useless, second is where my car pulls the hardest. If I do a freeway run, I have to drop to about 45-50mph to go down into 3rd. I also have a brad new set of 4.10's if u are interested.
