think again...ur talking 1 mpg at most, and 250 rpm at any given speed...but the torque multiplaction is LITERALLY the diff between lifting tires...and bogging
so think about it, ive driven cars IDENTICAL to ones ive owned, those ones with 3.73 were still 14 second cars , and mine were mid 13's all stock
gears + labor is about $500-$600
its not something you do on your own, unless u are ASE mechanic
try to drive a 4.10 car...you'll quickly change ur mind

i hear ya...but in 6 months, just resurrect this thread after you swap to 4.10's over the 3.73's and admit you were wrong and bought into the lies of all the haters who have 3.73's
and that once again.... i was right

haha no like i know you are right, and i want the 4.10's but i just dont know if they are the right ones to get for me right now. i love 0-60 launches. But i am financially restrained. so maybe gears aren't my best option in general? maybe i should go for a tune?

Bob is right hell I went from 3.73's to 4.30's lol
Your mpg will be hindered pnly because you can't keep your foot out of it lol
True story I drove one of my aunt's Suzuki forenza's at her car lot and at 65mph the tach was almost to 3500rpm! My stang with 4.30's is barely at 2600rpm and still get 18mpg 23 highway and it's 408 lol

a 75 or 80 shot kit will knock off a full second ET
maybe more since the added power will take care of some the lacking gear
i knocked 1.5 seconds off my stock '90 aod vert with an inferior ZEX 100 shot kit, cuz it only had 3.73's
it went from 15.60 to 14.10 (AOD car on street radials)
