RE: I can't believe I waited so long to do gears!!!
I'd like to see the et difference with regular radials on a mild set up.
Sure it will feel faster and it probably is but how many tenths is worth giving up your low rpm highway cruise rpm.
I have 3.73's and want to go a bit higher. Maybe 3.27's because my Mustang also gets me to work and back 5 day a week.

RE: I can't believe I waited so long to do gears!!!
I have 3.73's and a 5 speed with a 255/40 (just over 25" tall) tire and I run about 2600 to 2800 RPMs at around 70 to 75. It is around 3100 RPMsat 85mph(where I drive mostly[8D])
I just took the car out today, filled it up with gas...I got 20mpg, and they weren't an easy 200 miles on that last tankeither.

I stil have the 2:73's with the stock size 15" tires, and I pretty happy so far. heck, I can burn em from a roll in 1st gear, so that is good for me.I have only had a mustang for a month, and even a 2:73 mustang feels like a rocket next to my 6000 pound superduty which has 4:10's.
