i have 3.73's and i turn 2500 at 75 mph in 5th. 3.73's in a T45 stang are like 4.10's in a 3650 stang, and it is a bit much for a stock cammed street car. unless turning like 2500 at 70 mph is ok with you.

I got the 3.27s! and for stock gears, they are great. I do have plans of 4.10s when my car becomes a race car when I get my daily driver beater

I would go with 4.10's but on the forum b4 i was tellin people about how i plann on gettin a KB s/c and they said there would be o traction with a 4.10 soo i deciced 3.73... unless that is not true!
if you are definitely getting the KB soon i'd go with 3.73s. if it's gonna be a while i'd go with the 4.10s because you might end up taking a very long time to get the money. things pop up and it's hard to save money. and yes, 4.10s+KB=no traction because the KB has max boost in low rpm's where it's hard enough to get traction with the 4.10s. now if you were to go with a vortech or procharger (better IMO) you could still go with the 4.10's. it will just take some practice to get that traction that you'll be looking for


to make a long story short.....go with 4.10s or go home!

Well I pretty much threw out the gear idea when I posted that topic about a shop charging me $550.00 to install them even if I gave them all the parts. Well....I found out today that I should be able to get it done for like $150-200.

unless you have a T45 96-01 stang, this is what you're going to mumble to yourself everyday.

my 3.73 reccomendation is for T45 stick shift cars.

if your an auto, i'd go with 3.90's or 4.10's. as long as you dont mind the extra rpm's on the highway.

ok, 3.10 weren't even an option... And my coupe came with 3.27's...
Although a lot of cars came with 2.73, there was optional 3.08 and 3.27 gears.
