i know in a GT it would be worth it but i have no idea about the sixers, you should ask that in the V6 section, you're bound to get an answer there.

On my old 2k v6, it has 3.23's on it. I put 3.73's in it and it helped a lot. I didnt lose much off the top end or on fuel mileage either.. Going as steep as 4.10 you will definatly get even more of a drop in both.

The 99+ V6's came with 3.27 gears. I put in 4.10's and a T-Lok. Best mod I did so far! As far as milage, I get 23.3 MPG combined city/highway. 3.73's aren't enough IMO.

don't bother with 3.73. get 4.10 or nothing at all.

take it from somebody who got 3.73s listening to people on this forum. [:@]

if they made them i would go wit 4.30s for a 6er 5 speed, but they dont make them for the 7.5 inch rear. sticks have an extra gear, so run a higher gear for it, go with 4.10s or nothing at all, and get a t-lok, PM autobadges and he will hook you up
