Default Two questions ok actually three. . . .

Whats the stock compression ratio on a 99-04 gt? What spline axles come stock? Also do you think 4.56's will be too much or should i stick with the 4.10's im planning on. . .

i was lookin' at 4.56's today. im scared to do it though because i think it would lose its daily driver status.

4.56's would be rediculous. Stock axles are 28 spline. You would need may or may not need to upgrade, depending of how much track time you will see.

If you were going with a full out drag car, gutted interior and some massive slicks I'd say 4.56 all the way, if not - limit yoursrlf to 4.30's.

just checked this site out. youd be at just about 2800 rpm at 70 mph on the highway. not really as bad as i thought. 4.10's are at 2516 rpm.
