3.55 / 3.73 / 3.90 / 4.10 help?

I do some highway driving here and there, but i dont really have enough open roads to worry about having top speed, so i need more acceleration, light to light stuff, so i was thinking about 4.10 but i didnt know if it hurt the engine or if the mpg dropped compared to 373 and 390. also i would be doing it myself, prob just change whole rear end since ive never changed just gears. one more thing, it would be with a stick, unless there is and advantage to having auto. any help would be greaty appreciated since i cant find much info on web. thx!!!!

Assuming a stick= T-5 and you are concerned about mileage and highway driving. 3.73's is the way to go.

I really wouldn't run 4.10's with a T5 that is daily driven. You'll be rowing through the gears way too much to be comfortable. 3.73's will be just fine for you.
