I'm thinking about changing the gears in my 01GT. What will be the best gear setup for me? and, What is the difference between the two? Thanks

You should go ahead and get the 3.73's. The 3.55's aren't much of a step up from the 3.27's you currently have. Or, you could even go with the 4.10's (ask JUSTIN about those, he likes them a lot in his 2001). 3.73's will make your RPM's about 200-300 higher than the 3.55's at freeway speeds in 5th.

Thanks Dude, Trying to figure out what would be best. How are 3.73's working in your car?

4.10s in a 4.6 is about the equivalent of 3.73s in a 5.0

I just got the 3.73 and I think you'll like those more... unless you don't do any freeway driving....then you would be cool with 4.10

?? What the hell are you talking about??
Have you had 4.10's before??
I did! With a 5.0 too!
The freeway isn't shit!
Talk to peeps with experience.
The freeway is fine on 4.10's. I believe your mis-informed.
You may need stickier tires is about all the problem you'll face!
