10 years now on 4.10's and 33's,I tow my trailer all over the US when I travel,I can do 70 easy thru the "Million Dollar Highway!
IMO, if you are undecided between 2 gear ratios, choose the deeper gear ratio. I've never thought "damn, I went too deep". I have often thought "damn, I didn't go deep enough."
Edit: insert snide comment about sex here.
I have 4.56's and 32's on a DD. I don't like it for everyday use. Highway RPM's are too high for my taste.
Good point on a matter of taste...
I on the other hand have a 5 spd with 4.56's and 32's as my DD, and it works just fine for my taste at 65 - 70 mph. As noted before, it's not a sports car... it's a modified tractor built to cruise comfortably at 65 mph....
If it's not a sports car why do you want sports car style low gearing?
Because with my set up, I want to my money's worth out of 5th gear. 32's brought major on suckage on 3.07 stock gearing. Two days later I had 4.56's.
....Do you really not get it?
I don't get why you need your engine spinning at high RPMs on the highway. If it's not accelerating fast enough for you, downshift. The belief that you always need max power, even in top gear, is why so many cars are way less efficient than they should be.
ivan u should realize on a manual and 32s you only need 3.73 for stock so 4.10s woulda been plenty of power over what u had on stock tires
