Default What gears should I get?4.30,4.10 or 3.70?

Hi guys I know there is tons of talk about this but my setup is a little different than most of the info I found. I have simple bolt on mods and chip on a 20004 5 speed gt. I've always wanted gears and I finally managed to collect the money for it but now I dont know with what set of gears to go with. My car is not a daily driver ( I only use it on special ocations). So I was wondering if any body thathas any advice with this question can help me out. Thanks

Thank you 05horse. I ended up with 4.10s I decided that I only want a launch that I can handle. I dont want to throw away my first gear.

I would do the bearings while your in there and If I were you I would plan on buying an ABS sensor. As I understand it they are really flagile plastic that breaks very easy when taking the off.
ofcourse you should see if you can save it 1st! They are about a hundred bucks and the shop where I recently got mine installed tried to tell me I had to pay for it. I told them you broke it, then you fix it! Done!

I am going to have a shop do it for me too, so hopefully they wont break it...About the bearings, can you please give me more info. I have heard of that but I dont really know what they do or what the benefit would be on changing them. Also how much are they?And what else do you recommend that I should get while I am down there. I have only bought the ring & pinion.
