3.73 all around gear!!! Not a issue at all.Many topics here and everywhere about them.
Im **** about anything other than a ford gear in my ****. 4.10's are a tad steep and will be annoying.you will be super happy with 3.73's.Dont let anyone tell you otherwise

Don't get gear unless you are going above 3.73. It all depends on wha you want out of your car, I'd prob go with 3.73 if I did it again

I saw this crazy topic and the RPM's with 4.10's.
The 3.73 was decent those 4.10's at certiain MPH where just a tad to high.I know my 95 was border line rpm madness at 80+ MPH with 3.73. Some 3.90's would be kick *** but me personally dont want non Ford stuff in my rear end.(( LOL @ In my rear end ))

3.73 from 3.27's with a 17" wheel, 5-speed car was a 350 rpm increase in 5th gear crusing. So, if you drive 70mph usually, speed up 350 rpms and that's what it will sound like with 3.73's at 70mph (minus any extra wind and tire noise of course)
