I use to have 3.73's and I loved them alot. I have 4.10's and I love these ones as well. but honestly in my own opinion u should have gotten some 3.73's. I live in San Jose and use to drive up 680 to work in Fremont. 3.73's were great on the highway, I use to race a Black 95'Porsche on 680 all the time and I pulled on him easyily with the gears @65MPH(of course i would down shift). Now with 4.10's that even great to. My bro "J's DDLY SNK" has 4.30's, I thought that was crazy but he says its not even as bad as everyone thought is was going to be.
