O yeah say bye to your Gas milage, i get like 10 with 3.73's. And im installing 4.56's right now as i type this. Just to see how much fun it will be/cost
wow.....you must have a lead foot


Mysteed has a built 3.8M112/4r70w with 3.73's, he gets 17-18/22-24 still, with a light foot.
Its more like 15 But that is a lie, he doesn not get that. Yes in some cases s/c can increase mpg, but its pretty much impossible in a mustang. 17-18 is what a stock V6 gets in the city. I Get on it like once every time i fill my tank, rest of the time i keep it under 2200.

thats a lie- my bone stock 02 got 21 straight city.

42's or 39's, anything smaller would just be pointless.

its not pointless. i know on a v8 car 42's will handle 500hp. it says in your sig your making 255rwhp sounds like 30's would have gotten the job done and been easier for the tuner. with the 42's or 39's whichever you chose it would have been a pain in the *** to lean out from all the fuel being dumped in. just my .02
