i like my 3.73's because daily driving i still have the gas milage and when i want to race i have the gear...if you spend more time on the road i would go with 3.73's because gas is getting outrageous...but if your at the track everyweekend then go with 4.11's...you will get the best performance out of 4.11's but then again at 60 mph you will be at like 2500 rpms
