yeah OB but you forgot to mention that your're running out of rpm room at the finish line with 26" tires and almost need to go to 5th gear to keep the rpms under 6,000 rpm. I still think 3.37 gears are the best gears for a Fox body Stang as they give good acceleration in the stop and go city driving without causing too much rpm on the freeways.

The problem with going too big on gears is if you keep adding power to you car. Eventually the gears might end up being too much. I've got 4.10's and they ar plenty. Even with a drag race suspension and drag radials, the tires still want to spin.

No No No
That was with a 150 shot of N2O
4.10's are fine with a 75 shot
Making around 330rwhp
I don't run out of gear there...

i'd say 373's arent to much.. i'd say there right in the middle, 410's is even close to the middle... just depends on how much gas you wanna use... you could even go 430's if you dont plan on drving over 50ish.... who needs first gear?[sm=icon_rofl.gif]
