Default gearing/supercharged??

I am sure I am getting the Vortech V3 non-intercooled very very soon.


I have 4.10s right now. Should I re-install the 3.31s or be a complete wuss ball and get 3.27s??

I WANT TRACTION!

well I have 3.31s and I'm putting 420 too the back wheels. With the stock tires I would spin all the way threw 2nd gear. Now with 315/35/20s in the back I can still spin first if i step on it but not 2nd aassss bad. I dont know how anyone drives with 410s and a supercharger.. just my 2 cents

I have owned 6 total Mustangs, 3 SN95 and 3 S197s. All of which have 4.10 gears and centri blowers. Buy a good suspension and better tires and if you can learn how to launch the car you'll have a ton more fun. Centri blowers build boost with load/rpm, too numerically low of a gear and you can feel a slight lag until you build back up the revs. Go with 4.10's with a stick, and 3.73 or 3.90's with an auto. Thsi will keep you in the power band of the blower and make for an all around better drive. If you are concerned about traction, buy a Torsen diff and wide tires.

Even my girlfriend can drive my new S197 TWIN TURBO GT easily with 4.10s and 12psi of boost making well over 500 wheel and I have the weight in that car down to 3150lbs wet.

hmmm.. I was thinking that would be the best route. Would certainly save me alot of time if I went with a taller(wider??) tire out back on stock CS 18x9s. I really don't mind the 4.10s, but I am worried the super short 2nd/3rd gear is gonna be a handfull at WOT from a DIG. I am also getting Lower control arms, but after that- it pretty much taps out my budget for this summer.

NOice, just chatted with Brenspeed and they said the 4.10s should be okay with the CF charger. I'll wait and see after the install.
