Depends on what you want to do. Me being all about going fast i would go look at gears or a power adder, but thats me.

Ya I'm defenitally going for the speed. On a pretty low income being in college ha. But I've heard good things from other forums about gears.. I got a 5 speed so i've heard the 3.73's would be best for much less shifting n so on... Any negatives about getting the gears? gas mileage drop a ton?? engine wear?? clutch??

If your going to spend the money on gears don't waste it on 3.73's, you will regret it! GET 4.10's!!! The difference on the highway is very small between the two. 4.10's are not bad at all. As far as gas is concerned, it depends on the driver. When I switched from 3.73's to 4.10's my gas mileage stayed exactly the same. My RMPs raised about 300rpms on the highway. As for shifting, there is no noticable difference between 3.73's and 4.10's under regular driving so dont be concerned. The difference is at full throttle. Anyways, just my opinion.

Ok, but is there any crucial wear n tear on the car with the new gears?

Nothing that would be different then the stock gears. Though if your about speed on a limited budget i would say go nitrous and be alot faster, but gears are good too.
