When I did my gear swap it was a nice improvement, but I went from 2.73's to 3.90's so theres a big difference there.

I just bought a 3.27 ring and pinion to replace my 3.73's.

Can't stand the highway rpms. Would also like some gas mileage improvement.

We read it hear all the time. The difference is amazing. So here is my question. How much faster is steep gearing on a typical bolt on Mustang or stock Mustang.

around 150 give or take , depends if you are just building a nice cruiser or a street beast . the 3.73 shouldn't hurt mpg to bad . you will deffinately feel a difference in the change .
500-600 installed.

3.73s are a nice upgrade and like every else said the best bang for the buck
