Hey Bryan, your car needs the 4.44 for acceleration. Just leave it until after/if you do a manual swap. Anything higher geared than the 4.44(ie; 4.10, 3.73, 3.46, 3.45, 3.25 etc.) will make your car slower/sluggish.

3.45 = 3800rpm @ 80mph
4.10 = 4500rpm @ 80mph

I guess a 3.73LSD would be a better upgrade
