i would go with a good brand name, ibought some 3.90 motive gears and they whine alittle on acceleration
see someone told me that i was silly for using only ford racing gears. I mean who would know your rear end better than those guys (no gay jokes please haha)

Go 3.73's. I'm running 3.55's w/ a manual and it's not quite enough. I'm going to swich to 4.10's when I can afford it (there are a few other mods taking priority).

I was thinking of ordering my 3.73 gears from ford racing this week. What do you guys think of this brand?
