how much of a difference am i going to feel from 3.42 to 3.73. i was thinking more like 4.10....what would be the downfall to putting 4.10 in, not really worried bout the gas mileage...

A 3.42 - 3.73 is a pretty decent jump. I only said what I did based on your comment of wanting to run 7's all day long. I think you would accomplish that with a set of 3.73's while not sacrificing cruise rpm's at highway speeds. A 4.10 in a 6 speed car is a good combo since 6th gear becomes much more usable. I'm not sure how a 4.10 would act in an auto but I would def research the cruise speed. I gained over 3 tenths of 1/8th mile quickness moving to a 4.10 in my old 6 speed car but like I said it was a six and not an auto.
