    For those of you that switched from 3.55 to 3.73 -- Was it worth it?

    Sorry for another gear thread, but I'm really struggling. I have a 95 GT 5 speed with some engine mods (HCI) probably around 275 RWHP or better. I originally installled a set of 3.55 gears in the car thinking that because it was a highway cruiser, they would be better suited. Now with all...

    Time differences between gear sets: 3.55 vs 3.73

    So them how much more performance can be acquired by going from 3.55s to 3.73s? I doubt its much if any....

    Time differences between gear sets: 3.55 vs 3.73

    Thank you for mentioning that......that is precisely the other reason I chose to go with 3.55's. With a stock engine, 3.73 will be reving pretty tight by the time you hit the end of the track. 3.55's will allow a couple hundred RPMs of breathing room before having to shift into 5th (overdrive).

    Time differences between gear sets: 3.55 vs 3.73

    My speedo is quite accurate as measured by a pilot vehicle that was following me. I put a 23 tooth white speedo gear to compensate for the gear change. According to my tach, 60 MPH yields around 2000 RPM. 70-75 MPH is around 2400 RPM. Downshifting to 4th at 70-75 MPH yields a spike of RPM to...

    Time differences between gear sets: 3.55 vs 3.73

    Yes, I have some goodies done. H/C/I, exhaust, pulleys, etc, etc. Guessing somewhere between 300-350 FWHP. With the headwork done, I was told the valvetrain would handle 7500 RPM.....but stock bottom end around 6500 RPM, and cam drops off at about 5500 RPM. I went with 3.55s since the car...

    Time differences between gear sets: 3.55 vs 3.73

    94/95 GTs have a very deep 1st gear which makes it pretty much useless with anything over 3.73. I have 3.55s in my car and like them alot. They are an excellent street/highway gear - huge improvement over the stock 2.73s. I keep hearing that you are leaving some performance on the...

    Clutch kit from LMR?

    That's very good to hear. Looks like I may have found my next clutch! What about the clutch quadrants and cable. Do you carry the Maximum motorsports quadrant and adjuster?

    Clutch kit from LMR?

    My car is generally a street car. Running street tires currently, but could see slicks as well. Wheel HP should be around 280-300 RWHP with the engine work done.

    Was looking around at replacement clutches for my 95' GT and came across this kit at Late Model Resto. 94-95 Mustang Ram Hdx Clutch Master Replacement Kit, 5.0L at LRS - Same Day Shipping! Seems like a very decent kit. Is the RAM HDX clutches any good? Up until now, I was contemplating...

    Gears

    I'd have to agree completely. I went with 3.55's after much thought and I am not sorry. I thought about 3.73's but I do mostly freeway and highway driving. This gearing has plenty of grunt down low too. Seems to match my camshaft/head combo well too. Revs right around 2000 rpm at 60 mph in...

    Valve cover guidance

    This is why I stuck with stock VC. At least I KNOW they will fit with all the bracketry. Is there ANY valve cover that works on the 94-95 without a crap load of mods?

    Valve cover guidance

    I'm confused. When I send them and email inquiring about their valve covers for my 95' GT with ported thumper GT40s and stock pedestal mount rockers, they replied back to telling me that the valve covers would not work? Can anyone verify for certain if they have used these covers without...

    5.0 emblems?

    I recently purchased some emblems from American Muscle. I’m a little disappointed with the quality of them. They look like a couple of trips to the carwash and the chroming on the emblems would vanish. I realize they aren’t expensive, but was hoping to get quality that was close to OEM. Does...

    Going to upgrade my clutch this spring and am starting to inquire about what my needs may be and what clutch/pressure plate combination will be sufficient. I was considering a king cobra clutch, but see there are ALOT of options out there dependant on power output and clutch feel. Some...

    Was thinking about getting an aftermarket hood for the mustang. Was thinking about a cervinis ram air hood. Are they good quality and fitting hoods?

    347 or 351w??

    Precisely. A torquey car with broad power band starting lower in the range is more fun to drive and more streetable than big HP numbers at 6000 RPM. Not what I'm after. A 351w stroker should be a torquer engine and pull well in the lower RPM range, but by the sounds of things, neither...
