Default RE: 0-60 Difference for gear swaps

i thought he said he had a mach lol i think everyone was thinking gt. i think if your going for GT go 4:10 for best n/a performance and if your going mach go 4:30 n/a for best performance. GTs redline at 5800 and mach 1s redline at 6800 so machs can go a lil further in gear than a GT. GTs stock have 3:27 machs have 3:55 stock. now top speed i dont know what it would be with 4:10 or 4:30s but i really dont think it would be any less than 130 or 140 if that cause 5th gear is a very streatched out gear. im going to get 4:10s for my GT but if i had a mach i would go 4:30s. if your going with gears might as well get something thats gonna give u the most bang. why go 3:73s if its gonna give u a lil bit of bang when u can go 4:10s or 4:30s on a mach for the same price with a biggger bang. thats my opinion. but we need someone to reply that has these gears to let us know the top speed. thanks

since we're talking 0-60 time changes, i have a 00' GT, has exhaust, suspension and a short throw, what would it be if i put some 3:73's in it? i'm about to start doing ALOT of interstate driving so i don't want anything too high but i still want something.

4.10 gears will run about 200 rpms higher than 3.73's, not much of a difference...
