Darkness said:There's a shop here that charges $150 for install and another $150 for gears if you dont bring them. In the end its $300 for the whole thing.
Mr.DOHCtor said:Yep, the gears will make you need to shift much quicker than stock gearing but, it also takes at least .2 off of your ET with good driving. First and second gear go by real quick when under WOT, but third through fifth are still very managable. A Good way to compensate for the quick shifts is to look into a Short Throw; a Steeda, Pro 5.0, or even B&M. You will get to 100 mph a lot quicker with 4.10's and higher than you would with stock gearing, thats for sure.
Peace

Mr.DOHCtor said:I would say 3.73s for a good ammount of highway driving. At 75 mph you will be at 2453 rpms where with 4.10s at 75 mph you will be at 2696 rpms. Not that bad but with 4.10's and numerically higher, you will be much closer to your powerband.

On other cars, like my previous Maxima, I put in a pacesetter short throw. It was really stiff and notchy feeling. But I have been told by many that the 5.0/tri-ax for the stang is a true STS, so it actually improves shift feel, AND protects the transmission by making the shifts precise. That's some damn good news. I think when I get my gears, i'll have him throw in a tri-ax as well. I just hope the short throw of the shifter is going to be too much of a turn off.
