RE: GEARS

It is a limited slip differential.
The right wheel starts to slip, the left wheel gets power.
MUCH better than the stock one-leg...
You don't get stuck in mud as often, traction in wet weather is 100% better.
There's a bunch of posts out there, including mine, on the details.
It is HIGHLY recommended if you change your gears (won't cost anything extra for the install either).

I got 3.73's and at hiway speed I am gettin 27500 rpms at 80MPH. Good luck and do the 3.73 for sure.

What the heck are you running a TURBINE?

PS: 2,750 RPMs for me is 90...

RE: GEARS
the 4.10 with a blower thing is personal choice, i actually liked em on the dealer car i drove but then again that was a 25 minute drive, deff needed something better then stock rubber/suspention
also, if your supercharging, IMO, i would skip over the ford racing tlok and get something stronger like a detroit true trac LSD

RE: GEARS
I'm running a 25 3/4 tire/wheel set up so I'm at about 3.96 gear ratio so I'm happy with the 2750 (the 27500 was a type O....lol)
If I was at a true 27 1/2 tire it would be a 3.73 and then RPMS come down and so does the $$$ spent at the gas pump....
@mustangman THANKS man! But there are plenty automatic S/C'd people having great luck with the (in you oppinion) terrible 7.5 t-lok, The stick is a slightly different story. Not everyone has bad luck and the LSD or true trac and auburn aren't bullet proof either....
