Default Gears- Which to get?

whats the difference between the two besides price and which should i go with?

i'm not tying to build a 10 second car, but i want it to be a bit faster than stock- nothing major just small stuff here and there.

there are probably 100s of post on this topic so search alittle, but i will tell you that most people recommend 4.10s for autos and 3.73s for manuals but this kind of leaves you in high rpms on the highway. I went with the 3.73s because i want my car to have pick up and make some quick track passes but im also using my car as a daily driver...i already use about a quarter of a tank a day.

The first link is for V6 gears, 2nd is for GT gears. Since you are posting in the V6 forum then you'll probably need to go with the first link. [sm=itsok.gif]

If you don't mind me asking, how far do you drive each day, and what's your average mpg?

I get around 17mpg, and its not that i drive far its just that i work on an army base and the whole ride there is stop and go with a million street lights.
