3.73 and 4.10 stands for the gear ratio that your cars rear axle has. Standard 5 speeds came with 2.73's (or atleast mine did) and I dont remember what auto's come with. If someone says they are doing gears, or have a gear swap all that means is they took the stock factory gears out and put something more aggressive in.
What gears to is basically get the engine into a higher RPM faster getting the driver into his or her peak power band faster = go faster....faster
