    Mechanic Looked @ Gears: Help Needed Inside 4.10 vs 3.73s!:D

    If you had access to a lift, swapping out the entire rear axle isnt the hardest job in the world :D

    Mechanic Looked @ Gears: Help Needed Inside 4.10 vs 3.73s!:D

    Screw the gas milage concern. You'll get better milage around town with the 4.10s anyway. Main reason Id stay with 3.73s is the snow issue for you. Honestly there are times I wish I had 4.10s, or at least 3.90s just for that slight extra bit of pull.

    Twin Turbo Ford GT

    I hate that F'n place. Did anyone else notice Eddie Haskell took his homo-ness over there after getting the ole boot from SN last year? Doing the same **** over there.

    depending on what kind of deal you can get on install. Shop around and get some different quotes. It may not sound too cheap, but compared to the other performance mods out there, its probably the best bang for you buck, seat of the pants mod you can do. The car will feel like it has a more...

    Gettin Bored :( need some help

    depending on how many miles are on your car, a bearing/seal kit may be a good idea. And of course differential fluid. Go with FRPP gears. 3.73s for $150. 4.10s for $180 in the link I posted above...

    Gettin Bored :( need some help

    very big improvement. Gear ratio is up to you. There are 1,487,248 threads about "4.10s or 3.73s?" on Stangnet. All I will say about it is...... If you drive mostly around town and not too much on the highway, get 4.10s. If you do a lot of highway or 5th gear driving, 3.73s...

    Mufflers or Cat-back

    I tried explaining this to some people recently. They swear a 10hp gain is common with a full cat-back. I guess thats what you need to tell yourself to justify spending $400+ on sound and material. I've bought 2 SS cat-backs before, and Ive loved them. I dont care if others want to spend...

    carmax was only going to offer $11,500 for my stang

    so, his 03 with 19K is only worth $500 more than my 02 with 50k? Yeah, right on the money. funny you mention KBB and NADA, cause they were willing to give me exactly what KBB said. NADA actually had my car listed at $12,500, and the salesman pretended he never heard of NADA. "We generally...

    LS-1 power not out there for us.

    Wow, dyno numbers. Lets look at track times. Even the heavy ass, IRS LS1 Goats are running faster than a PI 2V. Mike, I hope you're right about the Boss/Hurricane motor. And I cant wait for someone to come out with a swap kit for 99-04's, if Ford does the motor right.
