Gear install....woohoo
so i finally found a great shop that specializes in working on stangs and to do my gears. The guy is out until may 6 so i gotta wait but he told me he would do gears for 200. Im stoked cause all my other quotes were like 400, 550, and 1000(<--dealership). I cant wait. I do have a question though because im uncertain about the future for my stang. I really want 410 gears but what if i decided to supercharge, is that to much and i should go 373 or is 410 ok with supercharger? I decided to just mod mine instead of trade it later on.

Im in the same boat. I found someone in locally that will do it for 200(labor). So now I as well have to decide what gears I want 4.10's or 3.73's. I plan on superchargering down the road but i'm leaning towards the procharger or paxton so 4.10's still should be fine. Plus the 4.10s will be more fun while your N/A.
But it all depends on your situation. What kind of driving do you do? what supercharger are you planning to get? MPG loss bother you?

Based on your profile, it appears you have a 2005 Mustang GT....what gears are currently in it? I want to say that the 2005's came with 3.55's, I know my 2005 GT did. If that's the case for you, moving up to a 3.73 would not be worth it....you'd need to go to a 4.10 in order to feel any kind of difference. However, if you now have 3.31's, I personally would stick to the 3.73's. I think they are a great, all-around, gear. Just my opinion.

I love everything about my 4.10's. I too plan on either supercharging mine or in a few years trade mine in and go with something like a 5.0 or shelby possibly. But if I do supercharge mine I am leaving the 4.10s in. Only thing I regret about them, is that I am doing 3k rpm @ 80mph but I dont do much highway driving.

ya mine is auto so i have the 331 gears now. Im just uncertain because if i dont supercharge, i may regret 373 because what if i just decided to do cams or something. Wouldnt 373 not be enough. I think 410s are normally recommended going that route. But then also what if i grew a pair and did supercharger and cams...in that case would 373 be ok. Sorry for all the scenarios, i just wanna go the best way. Supercharger would be a lil while aways so would 373 put a smile on my face at least?

I would eventually like to get a SC but dont know if it will happen because its pretty far away for me if I do get one, but I know I am getting 4.10s this year...
