4.30?

[NPIGT]

Are 4.30 to much for a daily driven stang? And What type of highway rpm are you at when traveling 70? Any info or input is appreciated. Thanks

4.30s might be ok for an auto, but for a 5 speed I'd do 4.10s. No more, no less. But if you're like me, it'll take a few weeks of these guys on here pounding it into you head for you to finally decide. You're going to go with 4.10s....you just don't know it yet.....lol. Oh and by the way you are probably looking at 2500 rpms or more (probably more) at 70 mph.

I have 4.10's on a 5 speed, and If I could do it over again, I would have gone with 4.30's. the freeway rpm change took some getting used to, but I went from 2.73's to 4.10's and I still feel comfortable on the freeway. I did slow down a bit tho, I used to cruise on the freeway at about 85-90 with the 2.73's, now with the 4.10's I drive about 70-75. if you have a manual you'll be at about 2600rpms in 5th gear at 70mph with 4.30's.

If you have 3.08s in the car now drive it in 4th because with 4.30s that will be close to your new 5th.

Having had both, I absolutely made the right decision going with the .30's!!!!!!!

DD w about 10 miles a day at hwy speeds with no problem.

with an auto your looking at about 3000 rpm with 4.30s maybe a little less

4.10's in an 03 automatic driving in OD at 70 mph. 4.30 would be a bit much unless you are really into racing and don't drive it on the streets that much.

While we are on the subject, this is kind of related, but what kind of gears would I want to install if I plan on installing a supercharger and or a bigger engine in the future? I heard that I might want to go with 3.73 gears.

that is what i've been told that's why i didn't go with 4.10's on my car becasue i'm going forced inducted in the near future.........that 3.73's will be more than enough for supercharged cars but i know that people will tell you other wise.............. this is my opinon only

Uh....I have 4.30 gears and I love mine. The rpms at around 75mph is about 3k rpms. I have no trouble with daily driving. In fact, I get better gas mileage in town with them, that with the factory 3.27's.
