Honestly, if you drove two identical cars, but one with 3.73s and one with 3.90s, I doubt the average person would be able to tell a difference. Mod motors do rev higher than the ole pushrods, so they tend to like the shorter gearing. I’ve driven 4.6s with 4.30s and even 4.56s and liked it, although if you do a lot of higheay driving it will get old revving so high while cruising.
given your two choices, go 3.90 if you don’t want 4.10
3.27 to 3.73 is such a small junp it not worth the expense

With 327 Gears I cam hit over 60 in 2nd gear.Would I be able to hit 60 in 2nd gear with 390s before shifting to 3rd? It seems counter productive to be faster out of the gate but have to shift 3 times instead of 2 unless you got there much quicker with 390s,then it would be a win situation.I may supercharge ,but want to really stay na.
Seriously I know 4.10s have a lot of pull but I don't want to shift every 2 seconds.I need something for all around driving and something with good take off to.That is why I was thinking maybe even 390s but not 410s.4.10 or nothing. Dont fear the gear

I may supercharge in the end but don't know for sure.If I do I hear 373s are the way to go.410s would be too much supercharged! I don't know for sure.The gears I ordered are now here so it looks like it's 373s.I hope I don't regret it?I think gearing needs to be set up with powerband in mind more than any other.
410s are great with a car that has more power on the top end, and is happy at higher rpm. but makes a stock motor flat out hard to drive.
3.75 have worked very well for me with a stage 2 ish , cam/heads Combo..
many have to go 410s with the the boss motor I am building now...has much more cam ...
I think in terms of the total build, what hp/trq , where the powerband is.
What do I have to do to support that...
Be it gears, fuel, intake, exhaust.
And the one thing I overlook, well it will be the thing that gets me.
Does anyone know what the difference in 0 to 60 times are with 373 gears and the stock 327s?I may supercharge in the end but don't know for sure.If I do I hear 373s are the way to go.410s would be too much supercharged!

I dont know why I waste my time with threads like this. Ive been driving 4.6 mustang for almost 25 years. Yet noobs think that they know better. Shift every 2 seconds? Its times like this that I just want to see you waste your money and be disappointed. Makes me smile
you don’t even daily drive said stang do you?
So do you have 410 gears In the car you do drive daily?
bet not!
Did you even read the first post?
I had 410’s on a daily once, I was teen then though...I am now an old man. What hair I have left is pure white...
Ran the salt flats, ran top fuel Harleys
I been in this game awhile.
A mod motor still sticks to the same math, and the same physics as any other motor, it’s nothing special.
Best not to assume things guy!
3.75 are a decent “freeway ok” compromise.
I think the op will be happy with that choice...
If it becomes a track/bar hopper only car, And 15” drag tires later change it.
Sure ya did...Back when I had just a few bolt-ons you bet your ass I DD'd the car WITH 4.10's. It was a fkn blast to drive!
Sure ya did...
And you did not answer the question did you!
Let me refresh the question asked son.
Do you daily drive 410 gears?
its a rhetorical question anyway, I know the answer, it shows hypocrisy, and rudeness.
what ever dude..
typical mustang guy, no other group, is as rude, or opinionated than the internet’s mustang guys.
Glad you like 410’s on your track car.....
Next time loose the attitude.
we will all be better for it.
