I can barely understand your broken english but you can use a manual diff with upgraded gears in an automatic. You will need to get the differential from a manual car I think they are $400-$600 used. I don't know what you want it for but 3.3 to 4.36 is a massive jump.

Stock with 3.36 - 67mph 2400 rpm, 72mph 2600 rpm, 80mph 2900 rpm
with 3.7 - 68mph 2700rpm, 73mph 2900rpm, 81mph 3200rpm
4.36 - 68mph 3200rpm, 73mph 3400rpm, 81mph 3800rpm
4.36 gears would make it worse than driving in 4th on the highway with the stock gears. Pretty sure a 3.7 rear end already has a dramatic effect on MPG and with a 4.36 you are probably pushing under 20mpg on the highway.

^This.... Gotcha'. Is this your daily driver? If it is, I wouldn't go any lower than 3.7. '03 & '04 models had issues with cruise control on 3.7 and lower gears, but on '05 - '09 you should be good.
