I bought my 6-speed Formula used with a 4.10 in it already. I can't imagine it with anything less. I've heard that a 3.73 is a high as you want to go with an automatic. Wherever you get the gear swap done, make sure they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Those gears have to be properly shimmed down to thousandths of an inch to mesh properly. Whatever bonehead put mine in didn't do it right. It works but has a lot of noise and will eventually fail. I think all gear swaps can result in some noise, so be prepared for that.

Re: 3.73 Gear

i got my 3.73 installed as well as hypertech power porgramming with 160 thermo. It is a massive difference from the 2.73 obviously, and i love it, my car is so much faster than before

Re: 3.73 Gear

From what I have been reading, for street use and still being quick with good gas mileage, 3.73 are the optimal gears. The ones above 3.73 might be trickier to drive on rain, let alone snow.
I hope this helps.

Racing is like boxing, if a lightweight challenges a heavyweight, you know that the lightweight will be fast, but in the end the heavyweight will knock the shit out of the lightweight.
