Sorry about the dump question. 3.73 or 4.10
Hi everyone, sorry about the dump question. I'm going to install a new set of gear. I'm currently running stock 3.31, manual trans. I'm looking to get either 3.73 or 4.10. I mostly drive in city. What do you guys suggest? Thank you. and what is the different between the FRPP ones and the motive ones.

I drove the 3.3s and the 3.7s and I went with the 3.7s when it came time to purchase - seems 3.5s aren't really something they keep around on lots. the 3.3s were a little sedated and the 3.7s were pretty aggressive, but they really woke the car up and got it into the powerband quickly.
I feel like 3.7 is a bit too aggressive though after owning it for a few weeks, and I think I would have been happier with the 3.5s.
4.1s .. man, 1st gear is probably next to non existent there : ). I'd try to find a local owner that has them so you can see if you'd like them first - best way to avoid buyers remorse! gears are really a drivers preference mod though.

I have been driving the 3.31 for 5 years and I think it's time to get some new gears. There are alot of mustang owner around detroit driving 4.10...I dun think they ever launch with 1st gear.lol...I just called brenspeed and they reconmended 4.10..oh boy....

More likely to end up with a noisy axle. Supposedly there's a slightly different installation procedure that minimizes this, but not all gear installers seem to have heard of it or follow it if they have.
