gears will limit your MPH, if your trying to go faster? you'll want like 3.23 gearing, if you want it to always feel like its putting you in your seat, then yes, 3.73, but your going to be reving out each gear just to get the mph your looking for. (substantially less than 3.23 gearing)

WRONG gears will raise your top speed by making 5th gear useable. With 4.30's you will hit 160 at 6000 rpms.

well idk why you would hit 5th gear going a hundred...back when i had my stock gears my 3rd gear went to like 120...with my 4.10s i have to put in 5th gear at 120....i suggest 3.73 if you wanna do more work later but 4.10s kick hard if you can hook up...
