I thought I had gone a little much on the 4.10s so 4.30s and up would have been sick. It was all I could do to stay hooked up with the 4.10s in 1st and 2nd, the 3.73s keep me hooked up pretty well. If you ever drive in rain, you will really have to baby it a lot with the 4.10+ gears, I feel like the 3.73s are perfect all around gears (rain, town, highway, strip) although the 4.10s are a little more fun at the strip and around town.

BigChiefSmokem said:Oh, sorry 4u2nv... I have not considered 4.56, and i think even for me that they would be way too steep. I've heard in the quarter that i'll be shifting into 5th with 4.56 before i trap. with the 4.30's i should be redlining it right?
Dark Knight GT said:I have 4.30's, and I love them. My car see's around 7500miles per year, and I have no real complaints. Bill Putnam, Automatic Weapon, KenB, and Starkie all had 4.30 gears in their n/a 4.6ltr GT's at some point in time, and had no complaints about them either. I believe Bill still managed to pull about 23mpg on the open highway with 4.30 gears. Hope this helps with making your choice, and good luck.
P.S. Be sure to get someone who knows how to install gears, and I recommend a nice Ford gear, like either OEM Ford gears or FRPP gears. I use OEM Ford gears, and my brother uses FRPP gears. They're a sure fit everytime. No whinning, shuddering or anything other problems. I've heard good things about Motive gear, but no personal experience to go by. Also, don't forget friction modifier when filling up the differential case with differential fluid, as this is important to keep the rear differential from locking up.
BigChiefSmokem said:Okay i think i'm going to go with FRPP 4.30 gear... because, well i want to be different than everyone else and have some cojones, and i'm going with royal purple gear fluid..
ONe more question.. I've read a lot about gears being beneficial to acelleration not only because they multiply torque, but because they also put the engine in the HP/torque rpm range faster in all gears...
Will 4.30's overshoot the Correct rpm ranges for optimal HP and torque over the 4.10's?? or do i have my facts all retarded?
Yes, the gears will put you into your power range faster, as they shorted the time it takes to wind out each gear.BigChiefSmokem said:Okay i think i'm going to go with FRPP 4.30 gear... because, well i want to be different than everyone else and have some cojones, and i'm going with royal purple gear fluid..
