Question 3:73 Gears in 97 SS 6 spd

I have a brand new set of richmond 3:73 gears that came with my recently purchased 97 Camaro SS M6. They're new in box. Would I be better off selling/trading them for a new set of 4:10s or should I just have them installed? This is my weekend car, wont see much highway use. If you recommend getting a set of 4:10s instead, stick with Richmond?

Thanks

My experience with Richmond are they are noisy but strong, I am happy with 3:73.

Love 4.10s in mine and wouldnt go anyless. Runs about 1900-2100rpm at 70mph. Still like stock mileage on the hwy but city might suffer a bit but not so much you really notice. IMO 4.10s!

Sell or trade and do 4.10 I broke a lot of Richmond 4.10's the teeth on the ring gear kept breaking. So switched to GM gears. Never had a problem. Butt also I race mine at the track a lot. With slicks.
