Well, I ordered 3.90's today. Im going to try them out and I'll decide if I want to go any lower this fall when I build my new Eaton rear. I'll let you guys know how they do because I'll be back on the rizzoad in a few weeks It's came a long way guys. Got new paint and stuff. Woo Hoo!
I'll try to post some pics. You dont wanna see it now though. Sittin on blocks in the yard with no wheels. [:'(]

still vote for 3.73's and i wouldn't shift at 6500 but thats just me... you've already surpassed the powerband.
+1 unless you setup for 6.5K dont run it.... ull kill you spring/pushroads/lifters..... plus unless u have a higher rev cam u wont get nething outta the extra 500-700 RPMs... besides a headache and a f*cked up top end....


ORIGINAL: ikeybmg

Right at 120. unless my speedo is off. I usually hit 6200 when I shift now. And I'm thinking about setting my governer at 6500
mustangs dont have governers.... actually a lotta cars dont... is just bs ppl talk about... u do have a rev limiter tho.... governer controls top speed rev limiter controls the RPMs which u can run up too....


as for hte question id go for the 3.90 outta the 2 choices.... if i have 3.90 and i do run to 6.5kRPM i could hit 123.9MPH i have 295/30/18 for tires.... if all u ever wanna run is low 12s thats good ez.... but u wont wanna stay at 12s forever... and ull need more top end to get go ne faster

here is a calulator to help u decide http://www.kabamus.com/garage/gears.html its pretty ez to use and understand

I think you're going to hate those 3.90's. They are very,very noisy!! My friends cobra has them, and it is almost impossible to carry on a conversation on the freeway at 70 mph because of the gear whine. The gear is setup perfectly in the rearend. Backlash and pinion depth are right on. The shop that did the install says that particular ratio just makes a ton of noise no matter what. Just my 2 cents.

whats ur cam setup? 410's would be good for something hitting in their power band at anything above 2600 rpms, anyhting lower and u go wit a higher gear.
