They definatley wont be too much, i would even go higher. after i got my gears i wished i had gone higher. I still get around 20mpg on the highway with 3.90's. if its between 3.73's and 3.55's go with the 3.73's

wouldnt you think that 373s would be the best though? and what would I be looking at for an ET as far as the 3:55s compared to the 3:73s, I would guess that 73s would give me a lower time
