thankx soo much all for helpin me choose gears over headers.
so far i have:
vrs catted x-pipe
87mm c&l mass air
mac cold air kit from fender to the throttle body
70mm polished throttle body
3.5 inch exaust tips
flow master
venom super chip
19 injectors
um... it think that is it.
now that everyone said gears i will go get 3.73's. i drive my car everyday somewhere, so i dont really wanna go wit 4.10's. i like puttin my car in 4th on the freeway and takin off, i can still do that with 3.73's. right? also i need a good person or place that can install gears. i also need to buy gears. thankx all.

should I take this one?
rear end specialists is where I got mine installed. It was like $200 for the install if you have your own gears and fluid but I think their prices have gone up recently. Still they are a great shop...ask anyone

hello,
i do not drag. i mean sometimes me and some friends hit up a few lights, but i have never been to the track or anything, so i am not too concerned about that. i am tossed between 3.73, 3.90, and 4.10's.

3.73's seem to be a good compromise. Depends on what kind of driving your going to be doing. I think at some point I will be adding an ati procharger to my car so I will probably go with 3.73's...

3.90's or 3.73's. Not a big difference, but if I had a pick, I'd go with 3.90's.
Put it this way, almost no one says "I got too much gear", but many people say "I wish I got steeper gears".
