Ok so let me get this straight once and for all. Does putting in larger gears in the differential make noise when you drive the car or not?
larger gears, or smaller gears? larger in the fact that they are 3.73>3.27, but 3.73 is actually a shorter gear...

anyway, no they shouldn't make any noise if they are installed right. Although the first time i installed mine they made noise, so i had to get them re-done.

Mustangs are easily capable of 140 mph + if the power and distance is there. 3.73 will still allow you to reach those speeds. i think 4th gear with 3.73 probable redlines in the 120 area.. but then again, you still have 5th...

I can easily reach 140 MPH in my Mach with 3.27 rear. Not something I do very often, but once or twice I have found a nice open stretch and did it easily. The 410's are great for street use, and obviously will get you to top speed faster, but man with the price of gasoline today, I think I'll stick with my 327's and just smile when a teeny bopper revs his engine at a stop light. Street racing is for fools.

Oops, my bad. Yes, my Mach has 355's. I got wound up in the conversation, I forgot we Mach guys have an edge on the GT's. As far as keeping it going that fast for any amount of time is just foolish. Chit, that's not only dangerous, that's just plain stoopid.

just a thought, would 4.10's with a 6-spd swap allow the same top speed as 3.27's-3.73's with the 5-spd? im not asking for exact number, just a guestimate.
