my front end has ford racing C springs, BBK caster/camber plates, offset pinion bushings. stock rear end springs, both are sitting on 17in toyo proxes. Will be putting in a Procharger with 8 or 10 boost kit. Wanted to get my gears in before the blower was put in.

Full exhaust and 75mm throttle body/upper plenum as well.

4.10's are treated like gods on forums, but was just seeing how well that related to a blower setup.

t1r's or 4's? I love my t1r's, they take quite a bit of abuse on during soloII's/spirited cornering events=P.

I'd go with a set of 3.73 just because 4.1's+a blower will make it a very un DD car.

Since you don't have any kind of performance suspension you should stick to 3.73's.

That is not true. My last mustang was a 550rwhp 01 gt with a procharger and 4.10 gears. I drove it to work everyday for a year until it got wrecked.

if you go with centri blower 4.10s work very nice for the street but you will run out of gear in the 1/4 mile but nothing bigger DR wheel could not fix. If you don't go to the track I recommend the 4.10s. No DRs with F/I means ****ty 60 ft times.

I'm going with 4.10's and I plan on a supercharger in the future. I had 3.73's in my 00' GT and I'm ready for 4.10's now. I've even heard people going with 4.30's and 4.56's with superchargers so...........

Finally, someone with some common sense. If you're running a 4.10 set up with F/I and worried about strip visits, pick up a set of 28" tires instead of 26", or do some math and see what you'll be at to see if a different tire will better suit your needs.

There's no reason to worry about running out of gear when you're out on the street anyways because if you're making that much power, there's no need to be dicking around at that high of speeds.
