It's not misinformation, it's an opinion. Rezarxt is more than happy with his 3.73's and they're steep enough for him. Who cares if you have 4.10's and swear by them, Hoss? I know a lot of people that use 3.73's and love them, I know some people who put in 3.73's and wanted to or have already switched to 3.90's or 4.10's, and I know people who complained about 4.10's being too much gear. It's a personal opinion, not misinformation. Personally, I've been in a GT with 4.10's and I think they're fine. Highway RPM is a bit high, but it's manageable. But at the same time I've never been in a Stang with 3.73's so I'm still not 100% sure.

I hear whay you're saying, there's a lot of those idiots on here. It's hard to weed out all of the crap people say on here. And when I re-read my post it sounded kind of dick when I said "who cares what you have." Didn't mean it to sound like that.

RE: 3.73's in....
You know, after hearing all this crap on these forums about 3:73's and 4:10's, I just decided to go with 3:90's, at the same time, I put springs, and 315's on the rear, I still have traction problems in 1st and 2nd. Hopefully the UPR upper and lower control arms will help with this, if not, I still have a k member to do to lighten up the front end, and possibly a battery relocation to do.

4.10's are a great gear for around town and for freeway IMO, it pulls now on the freeway. With the stock gear it was crazy slow. And the mileage isn't a diff much at all comparing 3.73 to 4.10's. 70 mph 2400 (4.10's) 70 mph (2250). If it's gas mileage someone is looking for back down too 65 mph with 4.10's.

i just got my 3.73;s done but i havent really been able to get on it yet due to the break in process but you can definently tell a big difference especially in 5th gear ob the high way it feels like theres just so much more power in 5th gear there great.
