Default 3:73 or 4:10 for V6 automatic

I would like to update my gears and I hear that Ford Racing is cutting back on 3:73 gears and I was wondering if 4:10 would be ok on a V6 automatic. Also I was wondering if anyone with a automatic installed the 4:10 on their car.

i thought that the general notion towards gears here were 3.73 for standards and 4.10 for the autos

I don't think I would enjoy 4.10's on my auto. The 3.73's pull plenty hard and don't increase the rpm's at cruising speeds that much.

Motive also makes the gears.

I'm selling a brand new, never installed set of Ford gears (3.73) for 175.00 shipped.

Are you planning to get FI?
If so 3.73's, and if you do a lot of long distance traveling, do the same.
If not, I like 4.10's, but that's just my opinion, everybody's different about gears.
You won't be disapointed w/ either [8D]

FI = ? Certainly not fuel injection? Forced Induction?
