Re: Gears 3.55 or 3.73
Like the others said, go with 4.10s minimum for a 4V. The 4V powerband is much higher than a 5.0 or even a 2V so you need the extra gear. You will only lose 1-2 mpg on the highway and your revs won't be that high. It's not like an old non-overdrive tranny where you have a 1:1 ratio in your highest gear.
You won't lose any speed on your top end either. You'll be able to do over 120 in 4th and actually pull 5th.
