    373 are ok but u don't wanna put it on the express for long periods cause it winds out quickly but not as quickly as a 411 or higher gears

    no he is correct. with 4.10's my car will rev up quicker but I will sit at a higher RPM and slower speeds.

    what im saying is that as the number goes the gearing goes down, which decreases your top end and as the number goes down you have higher gearing, which allows higher top end.

    Ok, so I will prob go with 3.73's. 3.90's seem pretty short.
