Whats up guys, I have a '02 GT (auto) and i'm looking at motive 3.90's. I know some people don't like Motive gears on here, but i'm also under the impression that Motive at one time made Ford Racing gears. I think 3.90's will give you more punch then 3.73's....but not AS high of RPM's as the 4.10's..

Edit: Here ya go bro...i think this will work for you...gear calc http://www.4lo.com/calc/gearratio.htm

the rpm difference between 3.90 and 4.10 will be about 200 as i read the difference between 4.10 and 4.30 is 200 rpms is that enough of a difference to not get 4.10's?

I went with the 3.90's because its just a little more then 3.73's. I had 3.73's in my 89 GT hatch and loved them. Plus there is a possibility that I may take the car on a road trip now and again so the 3.90's aren't quite as scaryas far as MPG goes. IMHO 3.90 is a goodchoice if you want more than a 3.73 but are concerned about 4.10's.

The 3.90's are made by Motive which makes gears for FRPP. I've heard horror stories about Motives but my local shop says they've never had a problem with them. Hell you'll sometimea get Motive gears in FRPP boxes.
