I've getting 3.90 gears for my 02 GT. What are the prevailing opinions about the manufacturers: Motive, Richmond and Pro5.0?

Thanks

I have heard some good things about Motive and Pro 5.0 gears. I have heard Richmond gears whine. I would go with Ford Racing but they don't make a 3.90 gear which is what you want.

guys, whine is from pinion depth and ring gear clearance. richmond is a gear company with years of nascar,circle track,drag race experience.
