dont worry about losing top end speed...do you regularly drive over 130 mph? if not dont worry about it.

and like Chedbob said...4.10 for Auto and 3.73 for 5spd. but everyone likes a different ratio...me...3.73s. 3.90's are a good compromise though.

You can run 4.10's with the T-lock in the 7.5" rear.

You only need to upgrade to an 8.8 if you're like running over 350rwhp or something..lol
