    14 bolt ff gearing

    Would a set of 3.73's be worth swapping into my 14 bolt, I can't even do 120km/h on the highway with the 4.10's, the other route I'm thinking is an NV 4500 swap stay with the 4:10's or 3:73's if I decide the swap, if I could find one would even consider an nv6500 and I hope to do a 454/ or 427...
