Get the gear that best fits your application... Everyone yells 4.10s or 3.73s like it's a gut reaction, but you really should research the best gear for what you are doing. If it helps, I run low 11's on a 3.55 and don't plan on changing it unless I break my rear end.

save your money. get 3.55

if you dont take your car to the track or race it then why would you go with 4.10s? just to feel cool about going fast? youre going to be driving normal 90% of the time. How expense should having fun 10% of the time be? stick with the better MPG choice if you drive 100 miles a day. this is a no brainier.

Go w 3.73s. I have had various gears in my mustang from 3.27s to 4.10s to 3.55s. 3.73s is a pefect choice all around.

If u have stock 3.27s going to 3.55s wont be enough.

There isnt much difference in tq between 3.55s and 3.27s
Worth going through the cost and trouble.

Alright guys I think I'm gonna go with the FRPP 3.73's, a friend is selling a set he has for $100 w/ only 5k miles on them and everything looks really good, no cracks or chips to them.

So I was on AM site and found the install kit needed and wanted to make sure this isnt anything else I need to order for the install and do it all at once ?

Thanks!
