the stock gears on my 89GT are 3.23. there is a way to check this you have to find a code number on your door frame. I forgot where I saw the article on this. You can also find out for sure by going under the car, have a friend keep an eye on a particular spot on the rear tire, and how many driveshaft rotations it takes to turn the wheel around once is your gear ratio.
....OOPS, Maybe i'm wrong..............Sorry!

I have an 86 with 3.55's in. Its got 240 rwhp and I was planning on getting a 4.10 put in. Is this going to make a big difference? I sure hope so

My car had a tag hanging off one of the differential cover bolts that had 2.73 stamped on it.

i have been told that 4.10's is the best for auto...im still not 100% sold on the idea since: 1. 1st gear is useless
2. higher rpms=more gas of course 3. lower top end
