DON'T FEAR THE GEAR. 4.30's [sm=closed.gif]
100%!!

rpm difference between 3.73 and 4.10 is aboot 300 rpms, then another 150 up to 4.30s, then another 150 to 4.56s but thats a bit to high i think, are you staying N/A? go 4.10s atleast, i would say 4.30s though, especially since you dont have to shift and it is geared taller

you cant do that you cheat. 4.30s werent an option. but if they were i agree with you. 4.30s all the way.

4.30's said and done.

4.10's for a manual wold be OK. I had an AUTO n/a 2v PI swapped '98 and I wish I had 4.56's in it (I put in 4.30's, best decision ever). 3.73's are a waste IMHO, you'll be up against stock stangs with 3.55's! WHy spend $500?

Ask nanaki abotu gears + SC...he wishes he had gone AT LEAST 4.10's

okay...considering all options..gas mileage, driving the car everyday..what should you go with?
Consider your car's future plans when choosing a gear. Will it ever receive a power adder? If so, I would default to a balanced gear (3.73 or 3.55) But, from your opening statement, if you ARE considering everything, a more balanced gear will suit you, so I say go 3.73.

If you can't decide then go with 3:90s. I have them on my 04 and I have been pleased so far.
