depends on your actual goal for the car.. are you looking for just a bit more get up and go, or are you planning to do more extensive mods to the car..

well since you dont have a 5th gear and your rpm is 1800-2000 at 60. 3.73s would be perfect.

The general rule is 3.73's for 5spd's and 4.10's for Autos.

btw a tuner will REALLY help wake the car up too, not because of power but because of being able to change your shift points and vlp.
