What are the RPM's at 70 mph with 4.10s vs. what their at with 3.73s in 5th gear with a manual? Right now stock im at about 2000 RPM.

Base FDR is 3.27:1. If its 2000 rpm @ 70mph,
For 3.73... 2000*3.73/3.27 = 2280 rpm @ 70mph
For 4.10 .... 2000*4.10/3.27 = 2500 rpm @ 70mph

cant decide what i wanna do. 4.10 would be great, wanna go fast, but i drive 150 miles up north a lot and it might get real annoying real fast.

If you plan on making more than 300WHP then do 3.73's, 410's are way to short for a car with *****.

Back when I was an avid poster on StangNet (hardly go there anymore), the rule of thumb was 4.11's on an auto, 3.73's on stick.
