general rule of thumb is 3.73s for stick, 4.10s for auto. most people with 3.73's say they wish they had gotten 4.10s....so id go with the 4.10s. i wouldnt worry about the top speed, one doesnt need to be driving around that fast anyway, and you wont hit top speed anyway in the 1/4 mile. if you plan on boost in the future, you might not want the 4.10s, but if you are staying n/a (or just the nitrous), i think youll be happiest with 4.10s.

hope it helps.

 

what if he plans on running a supercharger possiblty in the future.....and its a manual??

 

ForFI i would go with 3.73's. I'm happy with mine, and the feeling that they are indestructible.

 

4.10s FTMFW . Got em on my auto and they kick ***

 

Why exactly would 4.11s in a supercharged, automatic mustang be bad? or not as good as 3.73s?

 

the quicker revs will "top out" the supercharger, revving too fast will not produce full boost level...correct? (or something to the sort). seems like shorter gears would be even worse with a turbo charger, where boost comes at a high rpm level..

someone correct me if im wrong..

 

I ordered 4:10's from american muscle, cuz im not ever gonna use a supercharger nor turbocharger im jus gonna get a dry nitrous system probly between a 50 to 100 shot and its only gonna kick in when i have it at full throttle,i'll let everyone know if i like the 4:10's and the FRPP T-LOC. How do y'all make these cool *** pictures of ur mustang at the bottom of y'alls comments?

Its called a signature, and you can take pictures into the "chop shop" section of the forums and ask some of the guys in there to help. They are very helpful. I believe you have to have at least 20 posts to get one though.

 

Sort of OT but how do you put a picture in your text. Like when you are trying to post up a picture in a reply or something. I did it once but I lost the magic after that. lol
