Default 3.73 or 4.10 Gears?

Which gears should I get for my (STOCK) 1992 Ford Mustang GT ?
I wanted to get the 3.73 gears, but some people tell me to go
with the 4.10's. Which should I get?

4.10's will give you really good acceleration but for highway and constint highspeed other than racing is going to work the engine...the 3.73 gears will give you good acclereation and make it so you can do higher speeds without working the engine to much...i do highway driving so i'm going to be getting 3.73 gears or 3.55 gears...not 4.10...hoe this helps

Well if you plan on getting 17's
That can help lessen the gear if you go 4.10s

I'm running 4.10s in my 92 5spd.
Lovem to death
First gear is still very useable, and it's at 40@6000rpms in first.

And I can also do do 90 or 95@3000rpms? in fifth?

Can't remember, we can find out when MD gets my vid online.

I know fourth maxes out at 112@6250
Theyre a great gear that many people fear, for some damn reason.
And the acceleration they give are Primo

I have 17's right now, but I have an AOD tranny, is that a problem when getting the 4.10's?
