Default just ordered 4.30s

well i got tired of my 3.73s so i just ordered some frpp 4.30s, got my rebuild kit and everything ready to go. i was talkin to an old timer who said "i hope you got enough motor for that gear" meaning i guess that he didnt think my car made enough power for the gear? idk, just trying to get someother thoughts on this, yet i talk to other people more fimilar with the modular ford crowd and they say it should be a great gear for me. right now ive got pretty much full bolt ons, stage one cams so its not a bad little performer for a N/A 2v, any thoughts would be nice, thanks

since im sure you can keep those wheels to the ground... i bet that gear would be very nice for you... who cares about MPG... loss of 1-2 from 3.73 at driving speeds maybe.. w/e.. if ur driving a v8 mustang, who cares about the gasssss.. you'll prob max out at like 120? idkkk lol this whole post was useless haha.. im just agreeing that 4.30's will b good =)
