I would go with at least 4.10`s. Under $200 for just the gears. Its the best/most noticable mod.

You generally want to use 3.73 on Manuals and 4.10 on automatics. The higher the gear ratio, the 'faster' you will start off shifting, however you can lose some top end speed with higher gear ratios. hope that helps.

Yeah, I know guys with auto`s w/4.10`s and they like them. They all have tuners to correct their speedo and adjust shiftpoints.
