I have a 3.73 LS in my car like Chris Hennessey. I agree with him whole heartedly. Anything greater than a 3.73 would rev too much on the highway. First gear would get too low as well and be more or less useless. James M has the 3.91 in the M5, but the M5 had different gearing in the transmission to compensate for this rear end gear ratio.
