most peps say u lose about 1 or 2 mpg but most peps say they dont see a difference in mpg

and as for the performance peps say they are the best bang for buck

in which is why ill be getting them this august

n i see that u have a 5 speed, sum peps saying if u have a standard go with 3.73 and if an auto go with 4.10 gears, but ive heard peps that have a standard go with 4.10 gears

as the saying is never fear the gears

Everyone has told me the 4:10's turn your GT into a whole new car... I dont have the money atm but it will be my first performance upgrade... After Exhaust that is.

I was in the same boat a month ago...3.73 or 4.10? I decided not to fear the gear and went 4.10. Happy as a pig in sh*t that I did too! Totally different car now, best money I've spent so far. I have a 5 spd also. Very small drop in mpg (1-2) overall, actually get better mileage in the city now than before. So since you are asking, I say go 4.10 and dont look back. Good luck.
