Ok, I think I understand what you are saying. Basically, the 4.10's put you in a better "sweet spot" when running the 1/4 mile? You end the race at the peak rpms for hp? Is this what you are basically saying? Makes sense if it is true (And I am sure that it is).

Most guys hear seem to agree that 4.10's are a better gear selection than 3.73s. But, when I talk other experts at performance shops, i am being told to go with the 3.73s.

Explicitone, I want to make the right choice and I can always appreciate good advice. I can always change my order...it is no big deal. My major concern is that my wife drives this car a lot too and I don't want any complaints from her. My goal in going with different gears is to give the car more pep but I am not that concerned about the track.

You could really help me if you could tell me how I can find the gear ratios for each gear when using 3.73 or 4.10's. I would like to input this data into a computer analyzer and see how they compare. Do you follow me? I can get the data for the 3.23's but not the others. Or, do I just convert it? If so, how?

Thanks!
