If you are on the street with it everyday I would stick on the 3.73's.
Hard to really say how much you will pickup but you will.
Maybe .20 if you are lucky.....

4.10s or nothing you will want to kill yourself with anything less.

and you have 3.27s so 3.55s are just a waste of money.

ya it doesn't exactly change your HP. it changes your torque by fractions.

With your slushmatic, go with 4.10's or 4.30's only.

If you go with 3.73's or 3.90's, just paypal me the money you spent buying them & on the labor, it'll go to a much better thought out mod on my car
