A couple things about 4.10's. They will put more stress on your clutch and drivetrain. In the case a a v6, they might be fairly streetable, but in cars with more hp they aren't very streetable. 1st gear becomes totally unusable. I think 3.55's or 3.73's are better suited for the street.

 

I think I might go with something else then. I do alot of highway driving and when I race I usually always do it from a roll. What would be good gears for that?

 

i suggest getting 3.55 gears if you do a lot of highway and 3.73 if you don't...also you could get a good exhaust and some headers...an intake wouldn't be a bad idea eather...also you could get a cam for it....maybe a shift kit later on...and well you said you don't know all that much this could cost you a lot if a garadge does it...so for the most part you could do the exhaust and the intake and hearders...but the gears and the cam i would have a garadge do if you don't think you can do it...the exhaust headres and intake are a bolt on so you just take the stock off and put the after market on

 

Hey, i'm rather new to this site and a considered a moron compared to you guys who know all the right stuff here.
I have a 94 GT...what do i want to put in as a gear if im comin from stock? i do a lot of both city and highway driving, so
whats a good balance in between?

thanks.

for a 5.0 I've found the 3.73 rear gears to be a very good overall gear for both city and highway driving. you get much better acceleration than the stock gears and yet they don't make a big difference in the highway gas mileage either.
I've heard from peeps on here that the newer Stangs need more gear like a 4.10 but have no personal experience with them as my Stang is old, '88 5.0. Besides that, I've taken it off the street as a full time drag race car and now I have 4.56 gears in it!! I can get 1.70 60' times with those gears and slicks with an AOD tranny with a 2,500 stall converter.

 

what is the ratio of the rear gear of my V6 Automatic?!!!

 

99-04 i think is a 2.73. i want 3.73s when i get some more money

 

A 4.10 don't put more stress on you drivetrain. Its easyer to turn, so how could that put more stress on your drivetrain? Now how you drive it can put stress on you drivetrain

 

Try these two links. They seem to have alot of good parts for V6's:

Good luck modifying your new ride!

 

Steeda is now offering V6 packages. You might want to seriously consider one.
