Default Final (hopefully anyway) say on gears

I have a 01 Mustang GT Automatic and after reading all the posts about gears, it still seems to be mixed.

So for my mustang, which is also my daily driver (around 50 mi a day to work and back), what gears does everyone recommend?


*Please note, that this will also be combined with a tuner and a shift kit (it shouldn't matter too much :P).


Thank you!

i voted on 3:73 only because you travel 50 miles a day to work. and over time, it will start to add up, even if its a dollar or two a day.

3;73 is the best all around gear, 3:55 is just to high to be much better than stock. 4:10 really is the best racing gear but unless you have a 6 speed or never see the interstate or highway, then 3:73.
