Well, I'd put in 4.30's if I wasn't putting a S/C on.

From what I've read, Ford's seem to be the least whine but someone above mentioned another brand was quiet as well.




Why would you say that????

Are you saying it's a bad idea to go 4:30 on a SC?



Please explain.....

I have 4:30s with t converter on my 05. I also have a Vortech.

How do you like your 4.30's? I'm looking to put 4.10's with my Roushcharger but I was concerned about having any first gear left when I'm on it.

Thats the way I would have done it. But nobody listens to me for some reason. God knows I don't know what I'm doing.

For the record, I've got a set of 4.30's going in my fox very shortly. And I'm concerned that it might not be enough gear.

this may have already been talked about, but i have an automatic, will 4.10s do the same thing for my automatic that they will do for a manual, or am i better off going with 3.73s

I would absolutely put 4.10's in an automatic. Then my next mod would be a big *** converter.

I fully agree. An auto is a different story, and I'd run 3.90's or 4.10's for sure.

I just had my 4:10 gears installed a week ago. They are awesome!! I would definitely make it one of the first mods you do. The only thing I would do before the 4:10 gears is a MAF and a tune. I paid $175 for FRPP gears and $185 for the install.

I have only noticed a 200rpm difference. The push you get in 3rd and 4th is unreal compared to stock 3:55. All of this talk about what top end speed you get seems worthless anyway. How many people actually get up to the max speed of their cars??

I have an automatic 2006 that will have a supercharger @ 8 psi. Knowing that a professional recommended 4.10s and a 3,000 RPM stall converter. -Joe

My 05 is not stock but the change from stock (3.55 I think) to 4.10 was a good thing. Pulls much harder out of the hole.

No idea what happened to top-end speed.

Mine are Ford gears and there was some noise but that has since been fixed. Of course running w/o cats and a Bonnsai exhaust it is hard to hear much of anything.

I know, I know... but I'm still driving it on the street and much bigger than that really effects drivability (again - wuuuss). -Joe
