RE: Gears
What transmission do you have, auto or manual?
Just an FYI, the automatic has a 0.75:1 overdrive gear ratio while the manual has a taller 0.68:1 OD gear ratio.
IMHO, with an automatic don't go above 3.73:1 for your ring & pinion. A 4.10 or 3.90 would make it too steep and you will not have any OD left for the highway.
I haven't heard anything about Motive. I have FPRR 3.73's in mine.
Hope this helps.

buzzz wrong answer, both go with 4.10s, and realistically 5 speeds should probably go 4.30s
+1 to that....I have an auto with 4:10's and no way is it to steep for freeway driving, come on, I get 26 mpg on the freeway. Go with FRPP 4:10's, you won't regret it!

RE: Gears
3.73 seems to be the best performers for autos and 4.10's for manuals from what I've seen. I think 4.10's are great accross the board but many auto guys have had a lot of hook-up issues with the 4.10's. I'd say 99% of the s/c autos I have dealt with (5-10 cars) are running 3.73's. For n/a cars, I don't see why 4.10's wouldn't be the best bet. IMO

One note, I do turn OD off if I'm not going to be driving over 50mph. In the suburban areas, the 3.73s and D work very well. I think it shifts better also at WOT if you turn OD off.
