Re: Read end gears: 3.73 vs 4.10

Its just a matter of feathering the gas pedal

But in all seriousness, the guys with the 4.10s didnt really have traction problems, even when it rained.

When flooring it, thats another story...

Re: Read end gears: 3.73 vs 4.10

Personally I would think that 3.73's would be just right for good performance and decent mpg... 3.55's would also be a good choice for more mpg but less performance...

4.10's I would think would get horrible gas mileage I know someone that runs 3 grand doing 65 in his 98 TA...

I'm looking forward to getting myself some 3.73's in my 94 Stang Convertible

i, personally, am probably gonna use 4.10's, they'll still get decent milage with the tranny i have in mind (T-56 w/Viper ratios). it has a 6th gear ratio of .5:1. as far as memory serves, most stock pieces have something like a .9:1 - .7:1 overdrive gears. in any case, with this tranny, i'll be able to launch hard and still top out fairly high.

Re: Read end gears: 3.73 vs 4.10

Until 2002, the 5th gear ratio was usually .67

ugh... i said quite clearly, or so i thought, that it has the viper ratios, which are lower than a mustang's. please read my posts more carefully before you attack me.

Re: Read end gears: 3.73 vs 4.10

If you go to secondstrike.com you can check your transmission rpm's with the Mph in each gear. Its under the technical section..I have a 97 cobra and am thinking about putting 4.10 or 4.30 gears in but, I have a .67 5th gear which helps me on the highway.
