I have a '91 with T5, and im planning to with 3.55 gear, as the chart shows in speedometer gear selecion, that I should have 8T, and for 3.55 with 8T, there's nothing showing for the drive gear teeth, does that mean, if I put 3.55 gear, I wont have to change my speedo gear?

the spindles on fox mustangs have integrated caliper brackets cast into the spindle itself. The SVO calipers will bolt right on with no modifications to the spindle.

The blank space means that there are not ford parts available for that combination. On my 93 I changed out the drive gear to a 7 tooth so i could use the 21 tooth ford driven gear. If you are planning to do the gear swap by yourself, then you are more than capable to change the drive gear inside the transmission.

Funny you should say that, I thought my car was going to run 13's this year with my 4:10 gears, despite the horrible worse than stock tires and my 20 yr old suspension. My car ran a 14.5, and supposably a stock mustang can run a 14.1 lol. Now this winter it's getting new shocks and struts, and the power steering and a/c are coming off. With a nice 275/60 15 out back and a little 165/80 15 out front I'm hoping to run a 13.5 or faster!!! Traction and weight lost is the greatest plan for the mustang! BTW the motor is completelly stock with 215 k's with a stock T-5 taking 5500- 6000 power shifts!! 5 runs in total within the first hour!
