well ima go with 3.73 since i eventually want me a supercharger and i dont wanna spin my wheels too much.. but on the other hand there are alot of guys on here that got 4.10's and a charger.. but 4.10s isnt practical for me since my car is a dd and gas is up to 3.70 for regularand i have to use supreme!!

OK, all ya'll have to explain. I heard 3.75 would be the best all around gears. But, I am not to good with gears. So, I need the pro's on here to help.

if you get lcas and ucas then go with 4.10s. if your gonna keep the stock suspension then get 3.73s. if your gonna supercharge it keep it stock or get the 3.73s with lcas and ucas. thats what i would do.

3.73s are a good "all around" gear but it also depends on your mod plans and how you want to set up your stang......I went with 4.10s because I like to track mine on the weekends and have fun, however, there are some downsides to 4.10s like mpg top end hwy speeds, etc........

Good luck with this one cuz ur going to hear all sorts of good feedback!! lol

Can anyone honestly say what they picked up in time at the strip by going from 3.31's to 3.73's??
I think that 3.73's make the most logical choice but if I was going to s/c at a later date I would try to get someones 3.55's as an ideal set-up. once you have all of that torque from the s/c it's going to take a good suspension and a sticky set of meats to hook up anyways..why throw more gear at it to make it even tougher to go forward instead of up in smoke?

If I wasplanning onF/I I would go with 3.73s for sure...my son's GT is F/I and he runs 3.73s and does great at the track but he also has a good set of drag radials too.....
