1. what is the difference between the 4.10 and the 3.73s
2. what is gained by switchout my stock gears
3. and last (newb question) whats TLOK

 

1. 10%
2. better accelleration (assuming you`re going numerically "higher"
3. limited slip differential

 

1. 9.92% difference in spin rate means that at a given rpm of the motor you will go ~10% slower (or need 10% more rpm to go the same speed).
2.The gearing difference also means that you put 10% more torque at the ground at any given speed. Your horsepower will not be affected much, if at all (often goes down a couple at the wheels) because the rate at which the torque increases with time does not really change. In layman's terms, you will feel a MUCH harder pull when WOT, that many describe as "fake 50 horsepower" because it will improve acceleration and track times in a similar manner.
3. TLOK is the Ford-specific name for a limited slip differential. It is designed to put equal power to each wheel under heavy loads by locking in the rear axle.

 

thanks guys what would you suggest for a v6 pony?

 

auto or stick?

 

sticky icky
