Default 4.10s or 3.73s

I'm really considering 3.73s or 4.10s (probably the 3.73s) as my next modification. How much will these inccrease my 0-60 and quarter mile times? Will I really be able to tell the difference when I floor the car? Is there an installation kit that I can get or does it come with the new crush ring and stuff?

i say 373 is nice gear. i have 410s nd think i may have to run less. after a certain speed 410s are a joke if your using a auto. unless you got a high reving motor

I went with 3.73 with my 5 speed, I love em. Still get 24MPG on the freeway, compared to 33 with 2.73s though...

i get great gas mileage with the 3.73s. if i wanted to i could hit 24 mpg highway. it all depends on driving style too!

do you have an automatic?? i thought the manuals already had 3.08's?? anyways, you won't feel much of a difference with 3.08's if you've got the 2.73's right now. i'd go for 3.73's man. its a good buy, and fun to drive.

no i have the 2.73 gear with a T-5 5 speed and i really still want the top end so i wanted to go with less than a 3.73 and i think that a 3.08 will do... what do you all think
