i dont do a lot of interste driving, most of mine is at 55 or 60 mph so the 4.10's dont hurt me that much.

I like my 4.10's, is there really that much difference in the pull of 3.73's and 4.10's. I drove a few stangs w/ 3.73's before I got my car but I cant remember.

gears is not a job for a person who aint done much..... and dont got tools.... also gears is one of the FIRST things you do, not last ........ if you got a stick 373, if auto 373-410's depending on how much you drive on the highway, personaly i was very disapointed with the feel of 3.55's.....
I agree, i went from the 2.73's to 3.55's and wasn't all that impressed, that's why tomorrow I'm having the 3.73's I originally wanted installed in my Stang.

I recently went from 2.73 to 3.73.. Holy Crap!! It's a different car.. Opened up the motor quite a bit too cuz it likes running in the higher RPM's.. lots of fun! Didn't really lose much highway driveability either.. Gas is killing me but every gallon is worth it at 8-10 mpg.. Recent snow in CT forced the car into hibernation for the winter. What do I do for the winter.. No tiresmoke, race gas, hard shifts.. No Autocross.. No Import killing.. (I'll miss that the most) I would have the gears done professionally. It cost me about 120 bucks at a local shop. Make sure they have some sort of experience doing it.. I get no hum or vibration thru 100 mph.. (Haven't gone much faster than that yet!) Take it easy.. Happy Holidays!
