Default 4.30's for a GT...

Okay while I do realize I have a 2 Valve GT that doesn't like to "spin" as some of you put it... would 4.30's be okay for my car ..or should I go 4.10's? I don't have a Mach YET.. (soon) but I am posting here because you guys seem toknow about rpm's for the 4 Valves and the 2 Valves. Thank you for your time.

The 4.30's are great man. Car is a lot more fun to drive now, especially since I don't have the money to burn on serious power mods. Did the install myself and it was a breeze. As a plus, I don't cruise on the highway too fast anymore in order to keep the RPMs down.

true to each his own i have 4.10s and love them my buddies gt has 4.10s he loves them but highway travel is a big part of getting around. the switch from 3.55 to 4.10 felt great need to drive a mach with 4.30s 3650trans thinking about t56 swap
