Go with 4.10's. I have them in my 98 and wouldn't trade them for anything. It's probably the best mod I have done so far. I have the FRPP 4.10s.

Why do people even ask which gear to buy anymore? By default, the denizens of StangNet will tell you to get the lowest gear out of your choices. And if you don't list 4.10, they'll tell you to get it anyways. If you list 4.10 or 4.30, they're going to say 4.30s.

Why is this so hard to comprehend?

4:10's all the way! I'm staying N/A though, your animation looks like your sprayin'. If I got another car, 4:10's would be the first thing I'd do.

I think 4.30s in a 96GT with the stock power band would be overkill, even in the automatic.

3.73's are an all around gear. They give you a little more acceleration and are a little more forgiving on the highway, rpm wise. 4.10's are for faster acceleration but they rev a little higher than the 3.73's on the highway. Since you will be mostly around town, go with 4.10's. Don't look back, just go get them. You'll be sorry if you don't. Most people, not all, with 3.73's usually wish they got 4.10's, after they already have the 3.73's.
