Default Video saying bye bye to 3.90 Gears

Well, I wasn't going to throw them out without smoking the tires with them one last time!
Hopefully, those Motive 3.90 gears will be replaced tomorrow with Ford Racing 4.10 gears.

just realized that I can get a pretty good idea of what my 0-60 times could be from the video! The car starts moving at around 17.5-17.8 seconds and reaches 60MPH at 22-22.3 seconds. So I should be doing 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds, I hope!!! [sm=drooldude.gif]

Reaper, which brand are you thinking of getting the 3.90s from? I don't know about the Machs, but for the 05+ GTs I wouldn't recommend the Motive 3.90s. Too many people have had problems with them, that's why I'm replacing them, too much whine. I'll see how big of a difference the 4.10s make pretty soon. I might have some new videos on Thursday.

Stang9325, smoking=chirping the tires, don't take it too literally!

wut tranny do you have, and for reaper, SN-95s go with 4.10s or 4.30s, not 3.73s or 3.90s

The same day I had my Ford 3.73's done a guy was having Motive 3.90's done. I swear i sat there and watched them have so much trouble with those freakin things for hours. They had to run and get a new set b/c they were chipped. My car was finished over 1 hour sooner and was started over one hour later.

This was just my observation but Mustang Magic told me this wasn't the first time thay had problems w/ Motive. You would think Ford would produce 3.90's if there is such a demand.
