I I don't have traction issues with my 4.10's... but redlining well before the 1/4.. threw on. 28 inch m/ t and my.lowered car chewed up the sidewall on first pass... $400 wasted...

Will be installing some 3.55's this weekend see how that helps.

with the 410s on street tire i had traction issue just flooring it in first...now if i put tire on it that would be a different story...and yeah you can pull a 127mph pass but you can also rev higher cuz you have a built motor im assuming

Also I'm still getting good fuel economy with the FRPP 3.73's on the highway.

I have to agree. With a car having an AOD or manual transmission, the 3.73's are a good all
around gear for the specific reasons given above.

Just picked up my 96 GT with brand new FRPP 4:10s and all I can say is Woo
Hoo!!!!!

I can see why people worry about losing gas mileage its
awful hard to stop mashing gas pedal.

if you don’t do it you will never learn.

why youd bump a 10yr old thread to give a sly boomer response is beyond me...but while we are here your statement is true to an extent, but attempting a ring and pinion install with no knowledge of the job or specific tools is a recipe for disaster. I can do an 8.8 with my eyes shut at this point but ive also been doing this for a living for 16yrs. See how redundant my anecdote there was..... now stop bumping old *** threads unless you have something extremely relevant to add to it
