Depends on how much money u got for gas. How do u know u got 3:55? If ur not sure go for 373 if u got plenty of gas money or 355 if u drive alot.

N/A and drive on the freeway a lot I would go with 3:73 if not the 4:10s. I'd go 3:55 on boosted applications.

if im not wrong your rear end gear choice depends on what transmission you have.

i have a 95 cobra, a t5 transmission and 3.73's. i can go way more than 40 in 2nd gear which is good for the autocrossing i do. if i went 4.10 i would have to shift too much imo. besides in first, 2nd and third i could pull a 3.55 rear end.

imo 3.73 or 3.90 for street driving and sportsman racing and 4.10 for a race rig or drag racing.

if u wanna be slow go 3.55
if u wanna be semi slow go 3.73
if your not AFRAID to go fast go 4.10

for every myth about 4.10's, i can give you a fact that proves it wrong

but heres food for thought.....based on some dumb answer i'll get (which will be.."i went faster on 3.55")

give an ethiopian a rotten 2 week old whopper and he will love it up like a fat kid loves cake.

it doesnt mean fresh surf and turf wouldnt be better.

thats all im sayin
