I listened to everyone and went with 3.73 since I am ProCharged. If I had to do it again I would go 4.10 or nothing. I do a lot of highway driving and the RPM's aren't bad but the speeds I typically drive always seem to have me between gears. It made a little difference that might have been appreciated more without F/I. For those worrying about shredding tires, you can do that with any gear set, it's all about how you drive. In all honesty, I thought it pulled harder in 4th gear with the stock gears.

i bought my car witht the 373s already in but i love them. i have nitto drag radials and when its warm out, i can roll in 1st gear, stop on it and only spin a lil bit. second grips like crazy. i pull 1.9 60fts all day which isnt the best but its deffinatly a decent gear and wont completly kill ur traction

I put 3:73 gears in my stang about two weeks ago and I noticed a huge difference. The best mod so far. One you piut in your gears I recommend a SCT tuner from Brenspeed. With the gears and tuner different car!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you didnt ask for people with 4:10s but i love the feel and traction is not really a problem. There is no doubt, you will notice and still have good fuel efficiency

Yea I can def feel more pull.... However I wish I would have gone with 4.10s. I rode in a friends and it was awesome, his car is near identical and it feels quite a bit faster.

I got 4.30's and im not lookin back. They work great 0-58 is a blur and it would be quicker if I could keep the tires from spinning. go 4.10's in the gt though.

4.10's are tempting, it's just a traction concern is all. I drive like 3000 miles a year, and 99% of the time its "in town" driving. i rarely do any highway driving. i have a family-mobile for that so the highway RPM's are not a concern for me. but its just the traction.

BAINO - what kind of tires are you on?

that right there would seal the deal for me... go 4.10's or 4.30's

3.73's should only bein the mix if you drive highway daily
