that is exactly what i am debating.... some people say dont go past 373s with a 5 spd but it seems that everyone with 410s really likes them and for me gas milage and highway driving isnt' an issue cuz i have 2 cars

if its not an issue, and you dont plan on using a power adder.... then go for it.... but in your quest to make a mean mustang... try not to go over 350hp, or you will be redlining at the drag strip

yea i dont drive much on the highway either, but i also dont want to have to shift into 5th when im trapping in the 1/4 mile. my front tires are almost shot but my rears are brand new. i could go with the 410s, replace the front tires with taller drag radials, then switch the front and back wheels
