I never said you could put a cobra sc on a gt I know that doesnt work. that reply was in response to the kid saying he wanted to sc his car and then stroke it to a 5.8 later, and you said he couldnt use the same sc, when you actually can

Yeah.. Ive thought about s/c it before but i had about 90,000 miles on my motor when I put the Nos on. I didnt really want to invest 4000 into a s/c that wasnt gonna fit the stroker motor that is going in next after this motor goes.. I figured with a s/c at 90k wouldnt last very long..

If all your wanting is fuel economy... the 3.73's will be a good fit. But, if you still wanna feel the power under ya... get the 4.10's. It won't your gas much, but if its gas only that your worried about... there are other cars that are made for that type of thing. Its really a matter of personal opinion. I would vote 4.10's with my $0.02.

Once again.. that right there is a personal opinion.

Who ever told that is a complete dumb ***. The differance between a 3.73 and a 4.10 in 5th gear will be about 200 rpm. Your gas mpg will not suffer very much and many people who actually OWN 4.10's report better milage in town. Remember that most people here telling you to go with 3.73's have never had 4.10's and there for cannot give you a good comparison.

Looking at changing the gears in my 02 GT. I've been told that 4:10's really screw up your fuel economy and 5th gear will run like 3,000 RPM at 70MPH?Thanks!
