Yea 3.73's would give you better gas mileage for sure. I dont know the actual numbers though. If you take alot of long drives i would go with 3.73's.

the difference is minimal. my friend put 410s in his mach and still gets 22-23 mpg on the highway.but then again you drive a mustang so why do you care about gas mileage? [&:]

Thats not true... gas mileage differences is hardly noticable. The rpms you'll be cruising at is what you should consider

3.90s are inbetween

i have 3.73s, and i cant tell any on my gas milage.
if i ever swap again i will do 4.10s

by the way i bought the motive kit, from rpm outlet with the diablo, for around 400 or so, i did the install my self. i have no gear whine or problems from the motives.

Also to consider is a supercharger, correct? Aren't you supposed to run .373's if you have a supercharger?
