Default Gears for Auto????

I have a 96 GT with the auto trans. I am deciding between the ford racing 3.73, the 4.10s, and the Pro5.0 3.90. I am looking for a gear to give me some more power from a roll becuase I can't downshift like a manual can. I dont really drag race it though. Anyone with experience with the automatic let me know what the best gear ratio would be. Thanks



96 Mustant GT

Auto Trans

K&N FIPK Gen II

Flowmaster Mufflers

Superchips Chip

Cobra Headlights

Diamond Clear Corners

Get 4.10s since you have an auto. Converters will also help.

get 3:73 for an auto, 4:10 you wont go anywhere on the highway, 3:73 is a good all around gear.

Yeah, 3.73 are the best gears in general for all purpose use.
