Default Gear Choice

So after I get my tires on, I think I'm gonna do gears next.

I'm debating on the gear itself though.

I want a setup in the range of 3.73 to 4.10

My question is, what gear should I go with? How big a range of fuel economy? Performance?


I appreciate all the help, guys!

im assuming that u have an automatic if you are even going to blink at getting 3.73s. i recommend 4.10s, but then again most people would say 4.30s is too much in the 5spd while i would say its perfect. mileage dropped about 2mpg from 4.10s in the city and 1mpg on the highway. i get 2mpg worse economy in the city than stock, and 4mpg worse on the highway (14 city/22highway right now)

If you plan on adding forced induction I've been told 3.73s are the way to go, otherwise go with 4.10s. Everyone who has them loves them loves them and hopefully mine will arrive tomorrow.
