Default 4.10 for daily driving

hey guys, I'm new to the mustang scene, and I was wandering how the 4.10's worked for you if you were driving daily. Your opinions and suggestions are welcomed.

98 GT conv. 5spd

<--- daily driver, turn 2400 rpm or so at 70 mph - would never consider 3.73's in a 4.6, maybe 3.90's if I had a blower though

Not clear on the rearend, but is it the 8.8 carrier. Is ring and pinion swap or a whole new carrier.

yea its an 8.8 and the ring and pinion is all that needs to be changed, they bolt onto the carrier.

4.10 work great for me. You get a few r's on the highway but it is not as bad as you would think.

It'll be fine for a daily driver....you'll just be shifting more. I think alot of people feel it will affect there gas mileage, but from what I heard you hardly notice the difference
