GEARS??
I currently have a 2004 Mach 1 which I use as a daily driver, mostly in the city, and am trying to decide which rear end gear I should upgrade to. I want to improve my acceleration and somewhat keep the high end power. But, like I said, I mostly do city driving and occasionally go on a long road trip with it. So I'm slightly concerned with gas mileage. What would better fit my situation.....4.10's, 3.73's, or somewhere in between?

RE: GEARS??
Go 4.10s all the way! They actually helped (or didn't really hurt) my city MPG because I can useoverdrive at 37-40mph now. Accleration is amazingly increased as these DOHCs love to breath at the higher rpms. 3.73s, or even 3.90s just won't be enough. Do 4.10s at the minimum- you wont regret it.

RE: GEARS??
i agree with machwon. if you are gonna put gears in it you should go 4.10. going from the stock 3.55 to 3.73 isnt gonna make enough of a difference, you will just feel lik you wasted your money.
