3.73 will be faster off the line, but lower top speed, and fuel efficiency.
3.43 will be viceversa. and it does just fine on mine. and the tko600 is a 5 speed no? id go 343

IMO, the 3.73 are to low. You sacrafice so much gas mileage with them, But if your not concerned with that, or top speed, Go with the 3.73 for sure. If i had a car where i wasnt concerned with the two at all, i would. Mine has the 3.08 in it now, im not to excited about that...

The only gear ratioavailable for 10-bolt is a 3:42 (not 3:43)and you can have a Limited slip carrier for any gear set ( 2 or 3 seriers carrier).

Gear sets for the 3rd Gen 10-bolt: All can be used with the correct Limited Slip carrier.
2:73
3:08
3:23
3:42
3:73
4:11 possible

Just my opinion for a street car 3:42 ratio would be the best choice.
