Either way you go, you are going to want a T-LOK differential at the same time.

With the added dig of the 3.73 or 4.10 gears, you are just going to spin your tire faster!

The T-LOK will power BOTH wheels for much improved take off performance.

Also, much safer for wet and muddy roads.

one thing about gears is that they change your speedometer reading. not really a good Idea.

They can fix that with a tuner

Dude@@ Do the gears I have 3.73's and LOVE them absoultly the best $ I have spent on the car. I can't say about 4.10's but I guess they would be even better. The MPG's stayed about the same or changed just a small bit on my car hard to tell cause it depends how I am driving. +1 on the T-loc you will definatly want that. Get a good shop to do the work not a do it yourself project. As for the speedo my tuner took care of the gear diffence t the speedo. You should get a tuner if you don't have one. NOW GO OUT AND GET IT DONE.

BTW I was told that if I went with the 3.73's I could stll supercharge if I choose to in the future. 4.10's would be too much for a supercharger. That helped me in making the decision cause I'd like to keep that door open without having to spend more on work I already paid for. Hope I helped
