I agree with them also, i will be switching to 3.73's because the stock gears a re not good for this car and i dont want to lose top end with 4.10's.sixstringthing said:Been going to a lot of local performance shops and just checkin stuff out, I've talked to a lot of the guys about gears and so far everyone has said to definately pick 3.73's over 4.10s for my 02 GT 5spd daily driver. They all said that 4.10s pull a lot harder but the 3.73's are still a HUGE improvement and very fun while still maintaining a pretty high comfort level and having the option of cruising at not-so-bad RPM's on the highway. Opposite of what everyone here says but I'm still debating.
crew_dawg16 said:what speed do you cruise at on the highway, I hold 80 mph and it is perfectly comfortable. Only 2600 rpms at that speed. Then, while still in 5th gear I put the pedal down and she GOES.
Now that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while.01GT eibach said:The thing to keep in mind is that Stangnet is very drag-race oriented.
DerekStangGT said:WTF???? 2600 RPMS AT 80??? IM DOING 3000 AT 80!!!!!! why the difference??? i just took a 60+ miles hwy trip to the track last night and i cruised at 80-85;3000-3100 rpms. i do love to have the power onhand to pass tho
00s281sc368 said:If your speedo shows 80mph at 2600rpm in 5th with the 4.10 gears, it is way off! You're actually going only about 70mph at that rpm!
At 80mph (real speed) your rpm should be more like 2900rpm with the 4.10 gears...

Mine sees the track maybe once a year. It's daily driven on the highway and city, seeing speeds AVERAGING 90 mph going to work everyday. It also has 116k miles on it, most of them with the stock gears.01GT eibach said:The thing to keep in mind is that Stangnet is very drag-race oriented. So you need to consider that when reading opinions. IMO, for a car that will not be seeing the track and will be seeing the highway, 4.10's are too much gear. It is all about the application of the car. However, keep in mind, that I am still happily running on stock gerars ... so again consider the source of the opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide.

It's a friggin playground for kids who own Mustangs who occasionally want to talk about a technical issue or two - but about the only technical issues you'll find are, "Which gears should I buy?" or "What exhaust sounds best?", "Which wheels do you like best?", "Where can I buy this?" etc, etc, etc - the rest is basically just BS - such as, "Who would win?" or "Just raced a Yugo - owned" or something similiar to this.
Then there's the talk section where you can talk about soap, lawn care, movies and/or TV shows, home repair, how to get the smell of rotten food out of your refrigerator, how somebody's girlfriend/dog/cat/aunt/uncle/brother/sister/mother/father puked/farted/crapped all over them, etc, etc, etc.
Stangnet is not drag race oriented. Try ModularDepot
NoVenom said:3.73 are a waste of time in a 4.6 powered mustang remember we dont have the power down low that a 5.0 has and the 4.10s even the field . i have 4.10s and they are not to much on the highway at all imo i could have gone w/4.30s and been safe as well . believe me once you feel the pull of the 4.10s and the drivability you wont be sorry w/them
boomshack said:Now what is the big reason why 4.10s are not recommended with supercharger applications? Is it because of the increased torque and will a supercharged 4.6 2v damage its rear end with 4.10s? Thanks.
