Best First Part
Just bought a 87 gt 5.0 and just got her running rite. What is the best thing to do first besides exhaust and intake for power. Nothing to serious like a cam but something i can affrod easily
|
gears.
|
What gears should i go with 373 and why whats the diff
|
|
depends on your future plans and transmission. personally I'd go 4.10's
|
3:73s if you have a 5 speed, 4:10s if you have an auto. the rear end is an 8.8
forget the intake, your better off losing the air silencer and getting a drop in K&N for the stock airbox. gears and exhaust are the best bang for the buck |

OK so im going with the 373 gears were can i get it the cheapest. And what the actual redline on this car. Can u go up to 7k rpm
|
6250 is where the stock rev limiter kicks in. It will be fasted shifting around 5200
|
+1 on shifting at 5000-5200RPM. These motors don't really make any more power above that stock. I have heard a lot of people on here using Ford Racing gear sets (Buy Ford for a Ford...). Cheaper is never better, specially when your talking about gear sets ;). Good luck on the buildski, and have fun.
