Give me your money instead if you plan on throwing it away on 3.55's.

You need to go with 3.73's or 4.10's with a supercharger. You are going to have to compensate for all the extra HP anyways (with tires), so why not go 4.10 and get the most bang for your buck?

4.10's, bearing kits, vortech supercharger.

edit: 3.55 wouldn't be enough of a change from the stock 3.27 to really feel a difference... And from someone who has 3.73's.. Get the 4.10's...

RE: 3.55 or 3.73 & opinions
 
im starting to thing 410s are better after reviewing multiple gear rpm calculators..
410s pretty much jump like 1000rpms higher then stock and like 400-600 rpms over 373s..

so its better to just get the 410s i guess. im goin to be orderin mine soon..

does it affect gas mileage? i havnt asked personally..

ToplessGT 04-14-2006 06:45 PM

RE: 3.55 or 3.73 & opinions
 
if you ask everybody here, no the gas mileage will only change 2-3 mpg. Your car will run better, smoother, and just be gods gift to mustangs. Take it for whats it worth.

RE: 3.55 or 3.73 & opinions
 
yea i like my 3.37's if didnt do probably 75% highway driving id go w/4.10's 3.90's might be just right but you will feel a difference w/3.73's i went from a 9.4 to a 8.9 1/8th mile w/just gears and a catback but i think i learned to drive a little better too

Not to be rude.. but this is what he was getting at...
From Stickies:
https://mustangforums.com/m_600073/tm.htm
Gear Calc

From the last 30 days... and these are only the ones that have the word "GEARS" in the subject.. does not include all the times we hear "3.73 or 4.10" or "gas mileage with 4.10's?" or "do 4.10's make little baby jesus cry?" etc, etc, etc......

I have 4.10 and I wouldn't go any less.

like i said bro, if you ask here, all your going to get is 4.10's. Ask at another forum I wont mention and all you are going to get is 3.73. Most important thing is where do you want to be when cruising at a certain speed and whats are your plans for the car. Its your cash

not true, i have joined a few of these "other fourms" because everyone on there is 99% idiots[8D]

RE: 3.55 or 3.73 & opinions
 
what do you guys with your 373s think? they are perfect or youd rather step up to 410s.

when people say you have no 1st gear with 410s that means its just really short right? i can still cruise slowly with 410s and be at a decent RPM correct?

"everyone on there".. im so confused. :eek: and yes, its true. theres a stickey on one of them that is called 3.55's or 3.73's. So, you must have a different one besides this one.

I have 4.10's in my 90 and getting 3.73's in my 95 gt. I must be one of the wierd ones that wants the "dredded" 3.73's. For my dads stang, hes got 4.30's- but will be at the track quite a bit. Why stop at 4.10's? Why not go 4.30's. Gas mileage and top end isnt an issue, right? Its only a couple hundred rpms higher than the 4.10s. Pretty soon here that actual debate will probaly be talked about- 4.10's vs 4.30's, which to go with.

So, i must be one of the idiots your talking about because Im getting 3.73's. I can live with that :)

some of the stuff i have read on some of the other forums you wouldnt believe, and most people have no experience on what they are giving advice on,

if you have a 90, the 5.0 foxes have a shorter OD ratio, so 3.73s in them are like 4.10s in an SN-95 and 4.30s in the T-3560

"4.10's or go home!"


Somebody says that every gear thread. I figure I will use one of the options you actually listed and say 3.73's.

Fryguy22 04-15-2006 02:55 AM

RE: 3.55 or 3.73 & opinions
 
go with 4.56's

RE: 3.55 or 3.73 & opinions
 
what the hell? 3.55 i didnt even know that was a choice. i wouldnt even think about having those. atlease get 3.73 at the least let alone 4.10's. yea sirously, just from this site we could prob right a f'in book on why you should get 4.10's or anything higher for gears. they should make the search button yellow or somthing.
