yea go with 3.73s i have the 3.55s and im pretty happy with them but i am still thinking about going 3.73. alot of the guys at the drag strip tell me to stick with the 3.55s though so i have mixed feelings

yea thats why i havent changed, i figured that. some people would argue that but seriously it cant make that much difference, now if i threw in some 4.10s or something yea you would know it but thats too much for a manual IMO

i put 4:10's in my first mustang, had a roller motor 306ci and all that great stuff. Pulled pretty hard. Could bark the tires doing about 55-60 going from 5th to 4th. That's the difference. On the other hand interstate driveing was about 3500rpm's at 70mph
oh it was a 5speed
oh it was a 5speed
