Not as mind-blowing as everyone made it out to be. It's like riding around with overdrive on all the time. I'm definitely not getting that "foot to the floor" feeling I used to get, so the acceleration I guess is better, but where I'm feeling the most power is in 2nd or 3rd gear around 2-2500 rpms. Most people complain that their gears give out in the higher RPMs, but that's where I'm feeling the most notable change. Is that wierd?

It's not weird really, it's just people who don't have any clue what they are talking about. You shouldn't of gone with 3.73's in a slushbox. You should have gone with 4.10's or 4.30's if you wanted to really benefit from the gear swap. Oh well, better than stock I suppose?

It's true, my '03 GT with a 5spd doesn't really get going until about 3,500.

I don't think I was questioning or accusing anyone of leading me one way or another. And I don't recall anyone in this thread saying I should get 3.73s over 4.10s. That was my choice for practical reasons. Since my car is a daily driver, it would be foolish to put 4.10s in there. Not when you're putting 60 miles a day on your car, and with gas the way it is.
