Default ANOTHER gear question



I have read the old gear questions and my answer was not there. I have a 92 lx 5.0 with the aod trans. I want to change gears, but I drive the interstate daily. Fuel mileage is somewhat of a concern but comfort is most important. Ive ridden in some cars that sounded like they were wound tight at 75 mph and that was annoying. What gears do I go with?</P>

For what you want I'll say again, 3.55's are your best bet. They will be a great improvment over the stock 2.73's and your revs wont be that high at all. Me personally, I would go with 3.73's inmostany5.0 stang even driving the interstate, but you seem to "fear the gear" so go with the 3.55's
