What's up bro, welcome. I've been on these boards here for 5 years now, first joined when I almost got a 2005 Mustang GT back in early 2005 (got a 2005 Legacy GT instead).

Yes, force feed the 5.0 if you get one at your elevation.
With the auto, 4.10 gears have the very similar ratio as the manual does with 3.55's
So if you do get an auto, consider either the 3.73 gears for good mixture of extra acceleration and still keeping decent gas mileage.
Honestly, though I'm not sure, if you s/c it, anything more than the 4.10's might mean too much wheelspin, especially with the auto as 1st gear in the auto is incredibly short. So go either 3.55's or 3.73's.

Again, welcome, there isn't a lot of traffic on this site, so it's good to get more people aboard and posting.
