Hey guys! I have been reading the boards for quite some time and have seen several posts regarding gears. I am going to the shop today to drop off my 1998 GT Convertible. I am having the weld-in subframes done, as well as a lowering kit. I am also going to have the gears done. I have decided to go with 3.73's, and I hope I don't regret it. The car is a 5-speed and only has 30K miles on it. I may decide later to do a supercharger or PI headswap. Do you think 3.73's are a good choice, or should I go for 4.10's? I don't intend to race it and it has BF Goodrich pilot tires on it. I just want to "wake it up" and make it more fun to drive. I also don't commute in it. What do you think? I am so confused!

id say 4.10s if your going to stay N/A. also keep in mind when u change the gears, your speedo and mileage is going to be off alittle. you may want to invest in a speed cal from dallas mustang. or gettin ur car set for your gears.

N/A = 4.10s.

If there is any chance you'll get blown, get 3.73s.

What if I do the PI headswap but not the supercharger? Will it matter then?

4.10s would work for you if you're going to headswap, but otherwise I say stay with 3.73s. I did and now that I'm blown I wouldn't want to have anything steeper...
