I have a 92 5 speed and im getting ready to put new gears in. Im not sure if i want 4.10 or 3.73,s. I do alot of highway driving also and i dont want to push the engine to much.
 
No! not with a 5 speed 3:73 gears are steep on an automatic. Most of the 5 speed guys go like 3:55 max if I remember right.
 
On a 5-speed car that is a street car I would not go any steeper than a 3:55 gear set. 3:73 would be good for an automatic but not a 5-speed for a street driven car.
 
3.27:1

You're going to want either 3.27's or 3.55's max. with my 3.27's I can nail it from a stop and be out of first in ~2 secs.
the 3.27's will give you about 33mph in first, 55 in second, and 80 in third if you shift at 5000 rpm. the gears are also really fun :D

3.27s for a 5 speed, will give you more snap off the line without revving too high on the highway. The easiest way to get a set is find someone who has removed the stock pumpkin from an AOD.

go with 3.27

I used to have 3.55 and went back to 3.08.I think 3.55 are little to much for highway driving
