How come 5.40's aren't on that list? <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

3.73s on a 95 GT 5 speed is just fine

3.73s are just about a perfect balance between street and strip on most applications, according to my experience and general popularity.

3.73's are not even an option, 4.10's or 4.30's, if I was changing cams anytime soon 4.56's would be in the mix too. </P>
