It's kinda hard to say. When I first swapped it over I really missed the 4.10's.
When I got the PHP chip it got better but still missed having the 4.10's.

Now with the chip and Stage I's I'm pretty happy with the 3.55's. I didn't notice much increase in mpg's at all after the swap. I'd love to have 3.73's, but if I was going to go with a stock gear ratio I would probably go back to 4.10's.
