Default Quick gear question

Ok, I am fixing to order my gears and I'm sure you all know of the big debate between 3.73's and 4.10's. I am leaning more towards the 4.10's but would like a few of you 4.10 and 3.73 guys to post what your RPM's are at highway speeds, I found a few pics but they were all 05+ and I think they have 3.55's stock.

I have a 03 GT automatic. Thanks

well you see you go with a higher gear sometimes its not always best because you dont want to spin your tires so much. but id depends on the power you have as well because i know ppl who are running 3.50s in cars that have 430 to the wheels and up. but all up to you. think about it do you want to spin more or grab and go?

Congrats! They will wake up your car a lot. Try to stick to city driving though where your mpg should stay the same, I hear people going from stock gears to 4.10's on new edges losing a few mpg on the highway.
