I wish I read this sooner. 3.90s are not made by fms and you are running a strong risk of very bad gear whine when you don't go the fms route. I know alot of people that won't install them unless they are FMS.

if you like to drive 0 to 70 get 4.10's

if you drive a lot in the 60-130 range get the 3.73s

all is not lost. I am picking up the gears on Sat. So I can switch with no probs. So you say no go on the 3:90's!! Will 3:73's still give me a better jump off the line while keeping a decent enough gear to do 90 on the freeway?

I drive 80+ on the highway all the time with my 4.10s

I would not go any less dont fear the gear you most likely will regret it later

Well. Maybe this will help your sanity a bit. Go to www.gefracing.com and www.stangstore.com to shop for FRPP gears. They have them the cheapest of anyone I know.



BTW, If staying n/a(which I think you are) go with 4.10's. You will be much happier when it comes to playtime in the GT.

I know if i would have went 3.73's, which never crossed my mind anyway, I would have been very dissapointed. In fact I kinda wish i went 4.30's, but like I said before, since I plan on a KB s/c in the future, I think the 4.10's will suffice.

get the 3.73's and forget it! It will still be an improvement. If you are going to run stock tires you will not be able to put the power to the pavement anyway with 4.10's.

4.10's dammit. Why the hell would someone buy a Mustang GT and start crying about gas milage?! Fearing the gear is one of the worst possible things you could do to your car. If it had the ability, your car would kill you in your sleep.
