4.44 gears vs 4.77
Cruising at 80 with 4.44s will be around 4650 rpms
Crusiing at 80 with 4.77s will be around 5000 rpms
I've had both gear setups. I don't have any timed quarter mile runs, but there is as big a difference from switching from stock to 4.44s, as there was switcing from 4.44s to 4.77s. I had the 4.44s for one year and was a bit let down from the start. Sure they were a nice little improvement over stock, but nothing spectacular.
The 4.77's were night and day and made the car a whole lot more exciting for around town driving. If you commute daily on the highway for long trips then probably the 4.57s are the better choice. If you are going S/C probably the 4.44s or 4.57s would be better. But, as I've mentioned b/f if basically stock, mostly driving under 100 or if cruising under 80, or racing up to the 120 range, I think the 4.77s are the best bang for the buck.
Go to a meet, drive in other's cars and decide for yourself.
