foxGT93

i recently bought mystang a year ago in march, its a 5 speedand im not sure if it has the stock gears in it or not, i kno i can take second gear to almost 60mph and i can do about 125-130mph in 4th gear sittin at 5,000rpm... seems to me that its the stock 2.73gears. Also i herd some of the foxbodys came with an optional 3.08 rear stock ?? correct me if im wrong on that one..

ok , say i do have the stock gears.. i want to upgrade to a 3.55 or 3.73, now i do love the top end speed and catching up to people but i would like to getto the best 1/4 mile times also... the car has BBK CAI, 1 5/8'Shorty headers, 2 1/2' Flows, Underdrive pulleys and Short Throw Shift Kit, i will be doing the TrickFlow track heat kit in the future. i just want what would be best for now.

Thankx

i bet you have 3.08s..when i had 2.73s i could do 75 in second
i went with 3.55s cause they were freeand i like them
but i havent ever heard of anyone complaining about 3.73s being too steep although i dont think there is too much of a difference

You definitely have 3.08's unless you have smaller than stock tires... There's another thread where I explained about the difference in gears... Click Here

3.73s ftw! my car stock had 3.08s

There isnt a big difference between 3.55 or 3.73. I'd go with what ever is more available or cheaper. I havent really heard people complain about either.

im prolly going with the 3.73's , and still want to do 140+ mph every once and awhile to open her up. but after about 100mph i start to get a nasty vibration on the shifter and it feels like its going through the whole car, im not trusting that

well i have 3.73s, the car used to be my DD and i didnt have any problmes with it or anything...as for top speed if with foxGT93...mine vibrates so bad past 110 i just quit driving that fast...lol...also dont rule out 4.10s...i'v seen and heard lots of guys running them in their DD

mine vibrates like mad at that speed too..must be somewhat common

I had 3.55 but switched to 3.73. I def notice higher rpms on the highway.

I'd go 3.73.

Mine doesn't vibrate.... well i don't think... its been awhile since ive ran mine over 100... its havin problems so i don't want to push it, and the weather hasn't been the greatest either...

Mine is my DD... doesn't do to bad on gas if you shift at around 2k either
