whats the gear ratio on the v6 mustang? since its lower than the GT do 4.10 gears have a bigger impact on the car? thanks guys

The gearing in the stock V6 is 3.31's. 4.10's are slightly out of the powerband range of our cars. They are great for F/I applications in the Mustang but no so much for N/A 4.0's and some swear by them with our cars.

Wow thats amazing coming from you, seeing as you don't own a 4.0 or even an S197 (heck you might not even own a mustang now...) And that is the first time I've ever heard that from you. Its a broken record man give it up.

Ask those who own the 4.0 or the S197 first and then go with non Musang owners IMO... this guy recommends used gears and rear ends....lol your taking your warrenty/cars lifein your hands with that.

so your saying 3.73 gears are better for the 6? i thought the gear ratio was in the 2's, lol, my bad

i thought 4.10 was better for a N/A 4.0 and 3.73 was better for a F/I 4.0......thats just what others have stated. this topic has been VERY inconsistent.

I think this topic is so thrown off by everyone's opinion when few people have even driven or rode in cars with both. I really don't think you ca go wrong with either choice though, especially if you are staying N/A, because most people are happy with whatever gears they have, if they are 3.73's or 4.10's. If you plan on going F/I though, I suggest you look into which gears people are choosing for those applications, or talk with someone who has a setup similar to what you want to run.

I've got 410's on a manual with a T-lock. I had them without FI and with the X-Charger; they're great both ways. You will run about 500 rpm higher in top gear at any given cruising speed, and you will get through the gears a lot faster than with stock gears, so you're in 4th most of the time on the street. I don't have a problem with them and wouldn't go back.
