My 2 cents: I recently put 4.10's in my rear end and I love them. It feels like the car was designed for them; all of the shift points feel better. I selected the 4.10's because I heard that many people who chose 3.73's thought that it wasn't enough of a jump. The 4.10's provide much more torque at launch than the stock 3.42's and put you into the LS1's powerband more quickly. No more of that 1st gear "dog" off the launch. As far as gas mileage, I may have lost 1 mpg on the highway, but that is it. I have lost more fuel economy in the city because I find myself beating on it more since it is just so much fun. http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

I love the difference the 4.10's made in my car. I am finally able to use 6th gear and experienced no real lose of fuel MPG but did not care about that anyway. You will lose some topend speed but your speed limiter is set at like 160mph so some lose of top end is not big deal. seat ot the pants difference is http://web.camaross.com/bb/eek.gif

Two things, one...3.73's I think are better suited to a automatic, where the 4.10's respond better in a manual. just my opinion. Second, I got gears, shoot me a email and we can see if I have what ya need.
