i say go big or go home 4.10 FTW thats what im getting as soon as funds alow. i have heard you dont even lose much MPG just as long as you dont do ALOT of highway driving. and either motive or FRPP if motive make sure they have an A at the end of the cereal number or w/e its called

4.10's definitely. The 3.73's and 3.90's won't be a big enough difference from our stock 3.55's.

4.30s if you don't drive your car often. 4V + 6800rpm redline + BIG gear = go fast.

the gas mileage between 4.10s and 4.30s will be negligible. this topic is pretty much beaten to death over at Mach 1 Registry.

you'll be happy with anything 4.10 and up though!

^^ Try 7200rpm redline.. at least in the manuals anyway, I'm not sure about the autosBut yeah I'd have to agree on the 4:10's at least until he decides to get blown anyway.. I'm debating on whether or not to go 3:73's or 3:90's myself cause the mach will have to be a daily driver for a while yet.

Maybe 7200 rev limiter, but the redline is 6800 for 5 speeds.

4.10's, if your not blown or anything like that 4.10's and 4.30's are the only way to go.
