While I made mention of this dilemma in my recent progress thread update, I thought it best to detail this sepatately....
I have a 2014 V6 Mustang with an A/T and the optional Performance Package, which includes a 3.31 final gear ratio. To this point, the only "performance" mods which I've made are the installation of an Airaid MXP CAI, a BBK 3.7L V6 73mm Power Plus throttle body, and a Bama 91-octane tune.
About a year ago, I purchased the parts needed for a gear change to 3.73 final gear ratio, but have stalled on installing due to indecision. Coming to the conclusion that I don't need an off-the-line rocket, I'm concerned that the 3.73 might be a bit too tall. My dilemma at this point is whether to: 1) sell the 3.73 ring/pinion gear; keeping the rest of the installation componets (install kit & pinion bearing) and instead buy/go with a middle-of-the-road 3.55 gear set; 2) keep/install the 3.73s that I currently have on hand; or 3) junk the whole idea and just stick w/ the 3.31s that are already installed.
As I have no per-determined preference for any one of the three options above, I would love to hear others experiences with either the 3.31 vs 3.55 or 3.31 vs 3.73 options.
Thanks in advance!
