well 4.56's in a silverado are going to be just a tad different than 4.56's in a mustang, I would go with 3.73's, but since its not up there 4.10's it is

you run your car on the highway and your considering 4.56's??? [sm=icon_rofl.gif] good luck with that


with 4.56's your car's life on the street is done. i wouldnt go any lower then 4.10's on a car that sees the street. you planning on running the stock motor forever? because thats the only time a mustang will need 4.56's
