I was wondering in what order of being the most powerful and least are the gears. 3:55 to 3:73 to 4:10. And is 3:73 any better than 3:55's.

I don't understand the question. higher number = more torque multiplication

kind of yeah

Dude it all depends on wahtyou want to do with your car. The steeper the gear (higher in nunber) the lower your top speed, the better the acceleration. Personally, Id go witha 3.55 and build the snot out of the motor, but thats just me. A 4.10 IMO is way too steep, for a BONE STOCK stang itll be fine, but for anything with some actual HP 1st gear will become useless (all tire spin), and on the highway the rpm's will be too high, for my liking anyway. To me 3000 or higher at 70 is unacceptable. Unneccassary gas guzzling and engine wear.

1st gear or not 4.10's get the hole shot..period.

ONLY at the track on slicks, other than that tire spin galore.

don't worry about the gears killing your top speed, that's a bunch of bull. we are limited by our horsepower and drag, not by our rpms.

Not true.

Sorry forgot you guys runnin 4.6.........those things have like NO torque. Kinda funny I ran a similar time to yours witha 3.27 gear I had 13.9@105 on street tires.

yup, ours and just about every other engine that has been made since 1998.
