    If you plan on keeping 35s and never going smaller I would go 4.56s. If you go taller then 4.88s. You will get back a ton of power by swapping up and should see a little bump in economy.

    I am guessing you have 3.73 now? Also I would get a custom tune, Efans, p&p throttle body and a cheap CAI off eBay. Should get an extra 40hp and a little economy bump.

    Yeah, I have 3.73s, I have magnaflow exhaust, and a CAI, vette servo, throttle body spacer, I also am Tuned By Nelskn Performance.
    How much does that P&P throttle body run? I want e-fans. If you know any where I can get some pretty cheap.

    Thanks for the link Chevy-Art.
    Are gears hard to swap out? Has anyone done it them selves?
