Pretty vague question. Quick answer. need? no. want? yes.

Long answer, 3.75 is for top end speed with no care to make the 15 dollar motor last. We have no idea where you run, how long you run, the temps, etc etc etc etc. Gear at 3.75 and temp your car. Do you own homework. My homework says @3.75 motor wont last more than a few runs.
