99/01 Usually got 4.10's if NA, 4.30-4.56's NA Track mostly/only car.
03/04 Usually keep the stock gears or do 3.73's. I wanna say most terminator guys keep the stockers.

So far I have run:
3.90's...they broke at the track, 3.73's great with the KB, 3.55's good all around, and 3.27's best gear for a turbo car.
In my 95 GT I ran 3.73's. They were PERFECT for a 26" slick at around 500 rwhp.

well i hear 03/04 termi's say 3.73 is where they like to be, but i own a 01 cobra and what i have gathered is there is alot of debate between 4.10 and 3.73. should i just go 4.10 off the bat for when it gets blown down the road? MPG is not that big of a issue but i do want the best overall performance with bolt ons till i get my KB. thanks for the info
