those are the final drive gear ratios. 3.3 is standard on automatics, 3.5 is standard on the 6mt. 3.5 will help you accelerate faster on an n/a (and help you lose traction on a high hp turbo setup lol).

heres pretty much how its summed up; 3.5 gearing will get you faster acceleration but shorten the lenght of each gear, and overall top speed. 3.3 does the exact opposite, longer gearing, slightly slower acceleration.

if your planning on staying n/a go for the 3.5, if you intend on doing a high hp turbo setup, get the 3.3 (longer gearing) and helps with traction.
