dmontzsta said:I could handle 2,750-2,800 rpm MAX, but 3k is a little scary for me, my Nissan V6 runs 3,000rpm at 75 mph, but I think it can handle it a little better. The gas difference might be the deal crusher.
With 4:10s does it just get off the line quicker? and not effect the top end at all?
GT02MG said:hell yes it comes off the line quicker...that is if you arent spinning your ass off...with tires you come off the line a lot harder and the car doesnt seem like such a slug....we drove last night to race a a few cars and the gas mileage was almost the same as the other night since we recorded the mileage before the gears went in...barely any difference and we did a lot of highway driving at that.
Im not sure about the top end but people say 5th gear pulls some more since you will be in the powerband quicker.
Id get the 4:10s...if you are worried that much about gas get an econobox
dmontzsta said:haha, they are very, very tempting. Especially since I already have an econobox.
I will have to read up more and get some exact specs before doing it.

Mossberg said:Yeah, My daily driver tachs 3000 at 70mph in 5th stock, so I'm used to higher gearing.

If you notice, I said my daily driver, not the Mustang.dmontzsta said:Which one is it?
What are the down sides to the 4:10s, besides higher rpm on the freeway? Does it still pull all around? what will it knock off in the 1/4?

Just about what helty said.dmontzsta said:Tricky.
What does the Stang turn?
