then both of u can PM me the cost of gears and keep your stockers, because that is all your doing is wasting your money on this. even though jthorn is goin with heads so he might need them.

what are you talking about?
im saying...
A.) if you dont go with 4.10 then just send me the money and keep your stock gears, cause all 3.73s do for N/A cars is NOTHING!

B.) idk what Jthorne was doing, heads and cam or a blower or W/E hes doin i have no clue, but if you go with a blower then you need smaller gears so you have time to build boost.

Guess I'm confused. A bunch of folks say the 3.73s are the best investment for the bang for the buck. Mustangman says don't waste your time. I've got a 04 5 speed. Are 3.73s the ticket or not?

Damn mustangman, you're really really close to my plans. But to let you know, my engine will still be N/A, as I really don't plan to add a blower on until way down the road, but it will be one bad *** 98 V6, well, a 98 V6 block anyways. But becuase you guys will prbably never guess right, I'm going to get a split intake swap kit from rpm-mustangs.com with a mild tune cam and I'm still debating on getting forged pistons, rods, and rings. But yea, I'm getting the swap kit, sending back my core once everything is swaped out, selling my cai and tb, getting a new cai, and getting a ported 70mm GT Tb, and I'm still debating on if I'll buy just the swap kit and get the whole thing ported by a shop, if I can find one that will do it, or buy a ported system, with the swap kit, 24lb injectors, and cam kit. But yea, I'm over halfway there on my savings, just a little longer to go, but like I said, it may not be done until the end of summer, but man I can't wait.

i say dont waste your time with 3.73s, just put in a t-lok if you dont go with 4.10s.
