I have an 02 GT and i know this has probably been answered but with the 4.10 gears what rpm are you at when crusing around 70 mph in 5th gear. The reason is i do some highway driving and don't want to make my gas tank drop any quicker. Thanks for the Help
for a 245/35/17 or 275/35/18 tire at 70mph in a T-45 transmission and a 4.10 gear you'll be at 2517rps while being 2290 w/ 3.73's. I forgot the calculator i used to use, so im not 100% on these. But at any rate if you "don't want to make my gas tank drop any quicker" than gears arn't for you - lol.
The 03 GT we had got 20mpg around town with my wife driving it and 19 with me drivin and it still got 22-23 on the highway. But when it was stock 3.27 gear I can remember getting 26mpg on the higway. If I were you I would do it. You'll love them.

As everyone has said, with the TR-3650 in 5th I'm ~ 2,500 RPMs @ 70 mph and a tick under 3,000 RPMs @ 80 mph. I've driven the car several times from Indiana to Ohio (~7 hour total trip) and I get right at 24 mpg on the highway with them... usually traveling between 70 and 80 mph.
