I just did a bunch of reading on the forum about 4.10 gears on n/a cars vs. anything lower. Most of the comments are about gas mileage and highway cruising rpms, don't care too much about that. I go to the track a handful of times during the year, but what I love is racing on empty highways at speeds of 120+ (ya i know its not smart) vs. imports like sti's etc (they love to trash stangs). I will be getting stage 2 heads and cams with a possible bullitt intake kit. So overall what I am asking about is, if installing 4.10s would better suited for strip racing vs. top speed racing.

Thanks

top speed doesn't change with higher gears in the mustang. go for the 4.10's.
