That's up to you and how you like your car to feel. That makes a good daily driver but me personally I'm going to 4.10 it's got more of a race feeling so you can feel the power but is still great for dd

4.10s, 4l60 3.xx first gear and a 26 inch tire can make traction hard to come by. I say stick with the 3.73.

Depends on where on the rpm range you're crossing the traps and how much room you want to leave to improve.

What are you spinning it to? If your spinning it to 7000 rpm the id go with the 4.10 and never look back. Me i only spin up to 6600 but its right on the line being that it top out at 126-128 with a 28 ' tire

not spinning it that high, but last time I went through the traps I was barely touching the rev limiter, it might be different now with the 3600 stall
