+1. And go for alot more gear! I ran 4.30's in my '01 DD, putting 25k a year on it and loved them. The .73's you will barely notice any difference.

Depends on what your end goal is with the car, I guess you could do 4.10's for a fun street car. But 400 Rpm difference at freeway speeds is nothing to these revvy motors. At times, I was regretting not getting .56s.

Hint: "Cheap" first mod that actually improved Hp, reliability and mpg; Steeda underdrive pulleys for all the accesories!
