then you will want the 3:73.. If you keep the stockers you are going to have to shove your foot through the floorboard to pass someon..

Also something to keep in mind is that the weight of the vehicle plays a roll in gear ratio's along with HP...

A lighter vehicle needs less gear... Also it has always been a rule for performace minded vehicles that 2900 lbs is max weight of a car with a glide...
