I see HP as a lost battle for my 4.0L but torque is always an option. I'm also focusing on acceleration for road courses and daily driving. Not top end and 1/4

im not really looking for top 1/4 mile times either. I just want my car to be very quick. The 3.73 gears should improve that with the tune.

Indeed, if you have an automatic and aren't too worried about gas mileage on the interstate or don't go on the interstate often go with 4.10's they make our cars pretty quick. The reason why I say if you have an automatic is because you will have to shift very fast and very often, manual I would go with 3.73's just for that reason. Thats what I am going for.

Ya, I have an automatic. And you said 4.10's are not a good idea for a manual because you have to shift quickly?

And I just did something very stupid. I locked my keys in my trunk. Put em down when I was putting my books in the trunk and closed it without thinking about the keys. Not sure if I should call a locksmith or get AAA out here to open it...

Yea 4.10s are really short gears...

Are you doors unlocked? If so just crawl through the back seat.
