Everyday driving I noticed very little. My 1/4 time went from 13.4 to a 13.19. I do regret 4.30's when I do an AutoX or an Open track day. It is way to much gear for that kind of stuff. And I do allot more Twisty fun things and very little straight line fun.

FRPP 3.73's are the perfect street/strip gear I think get those.
You will be getting terrible MPG with FRPP 4.10's or 4.30's.

I guess your definition of terrible and mine are different. I have gotten 24 mpg hwy with 4.30's.
Yes my city MPG sucks. But I dont consider it that bad

Nice nice, we will have to get together come spring me and a bunch of mustang guys alwasy go cruisin, some sick cars too. How much are you selling the pac green cobra for? Mileage? Condition? Mods?
Bramas bladerunner thinks hes an expert on everything just read his other threads. He never drove a car with 4.10s or 4.30s so he shouldn't be giving advice.

5k thats what i paid for it last year and its nicer now then when i bought it. 121k runs great and is in great condition shines up well. it was in an accident before i cant hide that and wouldnt try to but its a clean title. its a great car besides it being wacked once before. i had plans of building it but i found my black car for a good price with more mods just needs a little work,its my winter project.

deffinatly would be down to go crusin around spring!

Unless you have had 373's and bumped up to 410's, please don't comment. I had 373's and went to 410's and didn't notice (or do I care) any drastic drop in MPG. Some guys fuel this myth. If you are one, please stop....
