Wow yea jumpin from 2.73's to 3.73's is a monstrous difference. When I did that change i was like WTF? cruise in 4th at 25-30 and your not even lugging at all lol. But it feels like a totally different car, be ready to shift WAY more often but launch a hell of a lot harder from a stop.

My friend thats installing them has own like 19 mustangs and is a mechanic at the bmw place here in town. hes got a monster 04 or whatever mach 1, stroked to a 5.0 and all. Hes charging me 200 bucks for the installed and around town they want like 300. plus i trust him to do the job right the first time anyways

i did take hes car out alittle bit ago and i have to say that thing runs, its strong all the way to 6k. sounds badas$ to. i would say it ok cause im getting the gears put in soon, but he ordered some 3.73s as well so well have to see. might take them to the track tomarrow, it suppose to be pretty cold tho.
