thanks guys
I have 4.10's in my non-charged '99. I love them and believe it was the best mod I did to my car. However, its not an everyday driver. I get 17mpg in city and 22 on hwy. She buzzes at 2650rpm at 70mph. I would probably go 3.73's for an everyday driver.

BTW, I should clarify that my highway mileage is pretty good because I have a Vortech S/C, which really doesn't add a whole lot of boost at low rpm's. Other S/C's may differ somewhat.

Anyway, good luck and enjoy the new mods!
