No problem, I get about the same mileage as I did when the car was stock with the stock gears, Now I have 4.10's and the car is making nearly twice the HP's as the stock motor. I dunno, must be my light foot I have. My stang is Red so if I get it over 3k on the street the poe-poe's are hunting for me.

Yeah the stock gears are good if you are a commuter, but if you do a lot of stop and go, they eat you alive. I actually saw better mileage when I did my gear swap, I dont do a lot of highway.
