i have 4.10's in mine, and it is 3000 rpm at 65-70.you have a little bit taller rear tire, so you could be about 75 mph or so at 3000 rpm.4.10's are almost too tall for every day freeway driving, but will be quicker than 3.73.my et was exactly the same after my gear install,3.23 to 4.10 because of the traction issue.witht the et street tires, you prob wont have that problem.4.10's also dont fell as tall with an over drive trans.so id say go with 4.10's unless you drive on the freeway everyday for longer than say 20-30 min.
i have a 2400 stall, and i wish i had gotten one a little meaner.id say a 2800-3200 would feel about perfect,again this is just my opinion.i might even go 3400 if i could drive a car with a stall that high first,but im so disapointed with my 2400 that im going to have to change it out.not somthing you want to have to do twice.

I agree, a converter in the 2800-3200 range and 3.73 gears should really wake the car up. If you go with a higher stall converter, I would also add an auxiallary tranny cooler as well.
