The gears will definitely give you the feel of being faster in lieu of the pulleys....as far as which ratio to go with is a matter of opinion. I just had a friend install 4.10's in his auto, he had some issues with the install, and had to get new gears and changed to the 3.73's and is MUCH happier. In his case, the 4.10's were too much for his drive to work everyday.
I am the "friend" he is talking about. I would NOT recommend 4.10s for the automatic. Howarmat tried to warn me, but I listened to others that said it was better. As Cameron said, I am MUCH happier with the 3.73s. The 3.73s in auto are similiar to 4.10s in a manual. Hence, 4.10s in an auto are comparable to 4.30s in a manual due to the different transmission ratios.

hm im still new to the mustangs and all, but from what i've heard 3.73s are best if you are looking to s/c or whatever your car? (granted i have a stick and not an auto, but wouldnt it be the same thing?)
