so somehow, being smart about gear choice, is fear?
I'll try not to laugh at you 4:10's too hard as i blow by you

TeriiK said:it means, people need to look at more than just how hard it pulls in first gear with your stock motors. trying launching 4:10's on a motor that actually makes power, then you might understand what i mean.

GotMustangs said:Please don't try to start a flame war in my thread. And for your information, launching w/4.10's and 28" slicks will just be flat mean. If you don't agree with 4.10's, either don't bother posting in this thread, or at least ATTEMPT to say so in a tactful manner. BTW, what kind of "actual power" does your car make? I just think you're scared of 4.10's because you know you'd end up slamming into ANOTHER curb.All in good fun, just my $.02.
TeriiK said:aww, how cute, he doesnt like the truth. you are also far from the person to be preaching about "tactful" manners, but please continue, it cracks me up. why are you so worried about what power my car makes? maybe if you worried about your motor more, you might understand why 3:73's make sense for fast cars. its that simple. ill be posting numbers and dyno sheets shortly, the new setup is running next saturday at our local track.
we build a lot of mustangs at my work (TAG Motorsports). some people want 4:10's, some 3:73's. when they ask me the difference, i explain it like this; 4:10's will make you faster now, 3:73's will make you even faster later. so basically, the guys who arent planning on breaking out of the 12's (i wonder if you know what 12's are like?) get 4:10's. the people who actually want to go fast, install 3:73's.
it doesnt seem like you know how gears work. understand that gears in the rear are essentially "work multipliers" you can set them up to apply more work over a shorter distance, or less work over a longer distance. still with me, GI Joe? grunts nowdays are supposed to be sharp, so ill continue... when you go too high with your gears, you will be facing 2 issues, wasting torque by too short an application distance, and having to shift into 5th right before the trap. the 1st issue is something only really fast (single digit) cars have to worry about, and i dont think you'll ever have to worry about that. the 2nd issue is something 11 and 10 second mustangs face. unless you want to rebuild the tranny so 5th isnt so tall, you'll simply be slower in the quarter with 4:10's than 3:73's... still with me, or did i go too fast? tell you what, if you still dont get it, go ask one of your CO's...they have a college education. its a neat thing, i sure liked mine...how about you?

GinoGT said:4.10's = teh win.
I did have a slight fear of the gear before I got them, but I went with what everyone says to do:
DON'T FEAR THE GEAR!
The only thing I don't like is the fact that I didn't do it sooner.
