pretty sure you've got 3.27's, either way a good gear for you would be 4.10's unless you dont like revving @ 3k on the interstate then 3.73's

personally I say be a man and get 4.10's all the cool kids are doin it

Umm... I could be wrong, but in an auto 97 I would think that he has 2.73's or 3.08's. Also, even with 4.30's I'm not a 3k even at 80mph.

I would also say 4.10's though.

look for the small metal tag on the rear end somewhere at one of the bolts, this tag will tell you what gears you had from the factory.
