yah if i did it all over again i would go 4.10's...alotta shifting but with a sticky tire and a good driver 4.10's would have been worth the the higher rpm's on the expressway...but for Tbapp def FRPP 3.73's with the bearing install kit so everthing is new..more $ but less problems in the long run. got mine from AM with a hand held programmer

all the bearing kits ive installed have come with the pinion seal. since your car is basicly stock id throw the gears in it first right after winter. youll notice a big difference, not as much as a blower of course but its alot cheaper. and dont forget with the blower your gunna need to upgrade the fuel system. go for the gt fuel pump or maybe just a bap and pry like 36-38# injectors. and maybe a maf, i know im at 341 horse now and my factory maf is pegged. sct makes nice ones that can handle alot more.

If your cars an auto go with 4.10's if its a stick go with 3.73's or 3.90's. Youll regret it if you go with 3.55's cuz theres really not a huge difference over stock.

TBapp,

I just did gears about 2-3 months ago in my car and went with 3.73's since I was supercharged. AWESOME choice..!

I had about 70,000 miles on my car when I did the gears so here is what I bought:

FRPP 3.73 Gears

Traction-LOK Rebuild Kit

Full Install bearing Kit
http://www.americanmuscle.com/rearendrebuild.html

You may also want to get a differential cover to help with keeping the load on everything - it will help when you supercharged...

It's a huge difference though and the car drives really different with the gears including once the traction-lok system was re-built... It's amazing..

Good Luck to you and Get that car supercharged soon!! :evil::awesomework:
