I have 3:73's in mine. I like the way it takes off now, and it is ok at highway speeds. It did lose a litle on the economy side, but well worth the trade off.

my dads T/c has the 3.73s he loves it gets great fuel economy, and with the ailing motor it needs them!

I still have the stock 3.55's and I think they kick butt.

I wouldn't change em unless i went to a 5.0 T5.

i don't really know yet... it feels like the gearing is wrong for them. i sent a pm to the kid that i bought the car from. i know that he swapped out the hydro clutch for a cable one... i'm wondering if he put the v8 t5 in there too. it feels like first gear is absolutely useless.

that's what i'm getting at. i've driven a lot of cars with 3.73's and they didn't feel so short. that's what makes me wonder if the tranny isn't a v8 tranny.
