Default 3.90 or 4.10???

I have a 2001 mustang gt 5 speed. I have 3.73 in it right now and im not happy at all. I want wake my mustang up and give it more pop off the line. I dont want to be sitting at 4000 rpm cruzin at 70 or 75 on highway so which gears would be the best. I have my mods listed on the bottom solet me know what to get. I also would like to know what website as well as what brand is the best to get.

+1 on why the 42lb injectors? Unless you forgot to list your blower then there is no need to have bigger injectors, you're just screwing your F/A ratio unless you have had a dyno tune. If you have 3.73's now you really won't notice a differance if you go with the 3.90's so 4.10's would be what you are looking for. FRPP's or Motives are good, I have the Motive gears in my car andhaven't hada problem with them, I really have no idea why some people hate them.

I know that I am going for 4.10's. You won't be that high in RPM's on the highway and you will probably say the 3.90's weren't enough and then want 4.10's in the end.

If you're looking to get a blower, then 4.10's wont be high enough.

you will absolutly notice the difference in gear between 3.90 and 3.73.... I personally think the 4.10 is a useless gear. if the 3.73 isn't enough for you, and you don't think the 3.90 will be, get a 4.30. If youplan on a blower in the future, don't touch the gear.

I have driven cars with all the different gears in them. For the record... 5.0 doesn't make gears (that I know of, never heard that before)... Motive, FRPP and Richmond. Motive makes Ford gears anyway, and the SCT Xcal2 is available to make the speedo calibration.
