Gears?
IJust bought a 94 GT,everything is stock except for exhaust.For my first Mod. I want to go with gears first.I wanted to know which would be best for me,3:73,3:90 or 4:10's.Since I'm still debating on which gears I should go with.It's a daily driver and I also do a fair amount of highway driving.I just would want to know what you guy's would recommend.I really appreciate it guy's.Thanks.

RE: Gears?
here we go.
from 2.73 through 4.10 you will increase performance proprtional to how high you go numerically.
so basically if you wanna go a little faster in the 1/4, get smaller like 3.55, if you want to optimize, go 4.10
for every gearset you bump, you will raise rpm by about 250 at any given speed.
w/ 4.10's i get 21 mpg on the freeway and tach 3000 doing 85 in my 5-speed. od in aod or t5 are the same so hiway mileage is identical (.067 vs .068)
