Can't go wrong with 3.73's or 3.90's. Both give a good kick while being "civil" on the street. 4.10's and 4.30 IMHO are more for track cars.

I love my 4.30's and I'm a DD. You having a Mach will benefit even more from a lower gear (higher numerically) since you can rev higher than I can in just a GT. I would say no less than 4.10's for you.

how will going with either 4.10's versus 3.73's effect gas mileage? I still have to use this as a DD....occassionally at the track

my 4.10's are very fun but i do a half city half hwy. still get 19ish to the gall. if i had to do over again i'd go with 3.73. i had to learn how to drive my car all over again

2 biggest things you'll feel: gears and headers
