Default 4.10s how much should i expect ?

GUYS i know there are many posts about this 4.10 gears..

the stock 0-60 for a 5spg GT is 5.1 right ?

if i had the 4.10 how much should i expect ? 4.8 ? because 4.8 is very good... 4.8 makes me beat few porsches areound and few srt8's ...

ill be getting 4.10's as soon as i get back to UAE, i cant really wait,After the 4.10's im getting aluminum drive shaft from CHE perf.. and then i will get a shifter in december... and after that i will get a CAI and a tuner... after those ill be getting better tires....

damn i cant wait to fly... about the rims... ill wait for lighter better looking rims... + WIDER ...

i have no clue how much it will help you, but i do know that after 90 those cars will take you, top end on our cars suck in comparison to exotics, germans, and even gto's

Depends what Magazine you read. 4.9 to 5.3 is what I read. Car and Driver shows 5.0 auto and 5.1 manual.

0-60 probably wont change because you will have to shift to third to get to sixty. You'll notice a difference. Look at it this way, if you were to run another mustang w/ the exact same set up as you except with 3.55's, you would probably put two maybe three cars on them up to the top of 4th gear.

Will the 3.73 take much off the top end and will it be quicker from 0 to 60?

Not sure what you mean by top end... Gears don't cause you to lose power up top, they just lessen the MPH you can reach. I attached an image showing your mph's at 6krpms in each gear for a variety of different gear sets.

Gears are often reffered to as the "poor mans supercharger". They are a torque multiplier. By looking at these numbers, I think 4.3's would net the best 1/4 mile if you are N/A and 3.9's if you are F/I... I can only imagine riding around on 4.3's though... 3k rpms at 82 Mph's.

Will somebody tell me how much top end speed will a mustang gt lose with 4:10 gears? I know I don't want a top end of 110 unless I'm a proffesional weekend novice drag racer.
