u will lose some on the top end, but u will gain alot coming out of the hole. at track today, hit 100 mph in 4th with em, not even red-lined. so u don't lose all that much of your top end. love mine, makes driving the car so much more fun. i'd be more worried about traction.

410 if your staying N/A 373 if your getting S/C This seems to be the most accepted opinion and I am on board.
some people claim to gain top speed because 4.10's put you in a better rpm range above 140mph than the stock 3.27's. but at any rate, the top speed will still be well beyond whatever you will hit in the 1/4mi, unless ofcoarse, you build a 7 second car.
GEARS
are made of a softer metal than Ford Racing Gear's and the tend to
wear out quicker but,the best gear's for your stang are the Ford Racing
Gears because they are made of a stronger metal and don't wear out as
fast. I would get 3.73's or less if you drive on the freeway/interstate
alot or are one day going to have a power adder.3.90's or more if you
drive more on the street or are going N/A. With 4.10's fifth gear is very
useable and you can pass someone without down shifting! FRPP 4.10's
are the best in my opnion!
The only draw back of the 3.90's is that theytarheeljujitsu said:Hey everyone! I need help. What do you think about the 4.10 gear in a 2004 GT? I've heard I'll lose a lot of top end. Anybody running one? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

I agree with everyone here that says N/A = 4.10's and S/C = 3.73. I just got back from about an 1800 mile round trip with my 4.10's and got on average, 23 mpg with a best of about 25 mpg. 
That was half mountains and half flats. I love the 4.10s in the mountains because you don't have to downshift to 4th on the steep grades.

I go to school and drive mwf about 30 minutes on the interstate, i run late alot and travel about 70 to 80 mphr, so thats why i was thinking about going with 3.73's, but thats really the only reason. 4.10's probably would be really good and the 3.55's are going on all the new models like 05 mustangs and mach 1's, so i was thinking of going in between.

Do I look like a :taco: in this picture?
don't fear the gear... go 5.10 if you want, you can always switch 'em back and sell 'em if you get tired of the higher rpms... live a little.

Losing top end is a pile of BS. You will not notice any difference in 100+ mph, except your car will accelerate to what ever speed you want a lot faster. The people that are saying you will lose top end know nothing about cars or physics.
