Im also in the same boat as these guys. Ive got the G5X3 on a 114. I was really leaning towards the 4.10s but realized I will be doing more mods later, possibly N2O. I am now thinking 3.73 because if I run a 150 shot, I dont really want to hit 5th gear with the 4.10s. Anyone run nitrous, what gears do you have?

I've had both and liked them both but I now have the 3.90's with headers and H/C and LS6 intake etc. I can still pull down over 30 MPG easy on the open road and I can annihilate the tires from a 1st gear roll. Probably insignificant but a little less rpm=less wear, and a little better MPG. You may tell a slight diff at the track but on the highway I don't think most could tell the diff between the two power wise.

Well, I ordered a stage II diff with 4.10s from DTE. I tried to order the diff brace but they are out of them, however, Scoggin-Dickey has them in stock and I'll order one in the morning. Thanks everyone for your input
