questions
1 - how much did this affect your fuel mileage?
2 - what rpm are you running on the highway?
3 - would you change to it again if you had the chance?
4 - do you recomend another ratio for the 6 speed?
thanks and please reply back ASAP

hey man honestly i had a 1996 WS-6 and it came stock with 3:42 as well. i did the same thing as you pretty much messed it all up. so i got 3:73's and i really didnt fee any difference. very little i saw a difference in gas. not so good but id say stick with the 3:42 keep in mind if your running a stock 10 bolt thos rear ends simply SUCK id say save your money for a a 12 bolt and get 4:11's. i mean a stock 10 bolt generaly cant hand slicks. ive heard nothing good about them but my opinion save the gas and stick with the 3:42 youll be just as satisfied
