Hello everybody(again)</P>


As some of you may know, I've been asking alot of questions concerning mustangs. (Is anyone going tocharge me a fee for posting too much?<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">) Reason for this post i because I want to know what's best for performance.</P>


I want 4.10's but they say that highway sucks and you loose top-end horse power. Anyone running 4.10's? How do you like them? Is it teally a bang for the buck? I won't be doing alot of highway, but I do get on it sometimes. </P>


Anyone running 3.73's? how are those on the highway?How are these for performance? </P>


Sorry if my name begins to be annoying to some; I just prefer to be safe than sorry. </P>


Ps. I just ordered the magnapacks. Wooo hoooooooo</P>


</P>

Do you have 4.10's?</P>


If you do, how are they working for you?</P>


How do I ask mdvaldosta the question? </P>


Anyone else with 4.10's? 3.73's?</P>


Your input will be greatly appreciated!</P>

Ive got 4.10's. IMO the only way to go on a 4.6. In an 4.6 4.10's are comperable to 3.73's in a 5.0</P>


The car will feel lighter and accelerate faster. 2900 rpm's at 80 mph on the interstate is the only drawback.</P>

4.10 GEARS ARE GREAT FOR A 4.6 MUSTANG. IT WILL FEEL LIKE YOU JUST PICKED UP 50 MORE HORSEPOWER.
