Stock your car had 3.27's, the 3.55's wouldnt even be noticeable over the stock gearing. Personally i would go 3.73's as its gonna be midways between stock and the 4.10's and will still alow you to enjoy some performance from a gear change and net you some mpg back as well.

if you are looking for some 3.55's let me know. I have some that I took out of my 05 Roush that have 4k miles on them. Let them go for $50 shipped.

I can tell the difference in my 3.27 gear Roush to my 3.55 gear Mach 1, albeit oh so slight. I feel 3.55 gear is about right for a daily driven Mustang and glad the Mach 1 has them stock.
