FRPP 3.55 or 3.73 imo is the two best for a daily,

what if i go with the 4.10's? what do you think

Eddy21 · 01-13-2009

it will need to be recalibrated wont it?

What kind of driving do you do? More highway or city? For a lot of highway 3.73 is good, for a lot of city 4.10 is good. There is to "one gear fits all". Do you care if you see a drop in gas mileage?

4.10's is the way to go, city or hwy. Get an Xcal tuner to fix the gear swap recal.

5spd or auto?

You can buy gear kits off of americanmuscle.com w/ the speedo cal included in the price. check them out....

If you are going to stay on the highway then go with 3.73's and if your not doing a lot of highway driving then just go ahead and get the 4.10's.

I do highway and city a mix of both so what would be the best will 4.10's affect my mpg alot?
i know my cars got power but it takes time to get their that why i thought the best bang for the buck would of been gears so i really want your guy's input on this

How do they feel?

i had 3.90's for like a week and then changed them out, odd gear and whined. The 4.10's can actually keep your city mpg the same or better. More mechanical advantage, less strain on the motor to get you off the line. Your city mpg can decrease is you hit it off the line hard or contantly hammering it. Hwy, it might decrease by 1-3mpg. Your rpms will probably increase around 300-400rpms at 70mph.
Heck i had 4.30's in my 05 GT and would drive it to my parents house 5 hrs away at 70-80mph and it was tolerable. mpg decreased a little but nothing bad.

Get 4.10's and a tuner either diablo or sct. Makes a huge difference. I had 3.73's in my prev mustang a 2000 GT auto it made a little difference but the 4.10s are totaly different. I cut 2.0 60ft times on crappy kuhmo tires.

was it your daily driver and how was it on the highway>?
