RE: 3.31 gears suck?
Im looking into gears my self. I have the stock 3.55 and its really gas and my highway driving that keeps me away from the 4.10's. Ive heard a couple of people tell me 4.10 are harder on the motor on the highway do to the high rpm rev.
I'm no pro but i cant see how everyone thinks 3.31 give you more top end when i dont believe stock wise are cars have enough power for it to even matter. I bet my car w/ 3.55 will reach a higher speed then some one who has 3.31. I'm i correct to be thinking this? I just think ford put the 3.31 for gas and not so u could reach a higher speed.
I still may get 3.73 for three reasons.
1.) has to improve my 1/4 by something lol
2.) im crossing the line redline 3rd gear at the track, im crossing the line at 6100. so i want to have it in 4th way b4 the line.
3.) i would think it would not kill my gas nor put to much extra stress on the motor.

I know my 3.31s are not quite as quick as if i had 3.73's or 4.10's, but I love being able to go 40+ in first gear and 70+ in second. Plus if I do go to the track, I should never have to shift into 4th unless I end up getting someboost or juice.

You should be able to pull 2 tenths off your times. It will feel like you added 150 more horse power!

RE: 3.31 gears suck?
I've got 3.31s on my GT/CS and I like them. Granted this is my first V8 powered car, so even with this gearing it still feels really fast to me.
I have been thinking about getting some 3.73s but I'd really like to go with FI so I'm probably going to leave well enough along for now...
