So I've heard 4.10's with an automatic, 3.73 with manual but why?

At the track a shorter gear helps to make better your 60ft times - that's why people do it.

Just save the money and put it towards a blower.

Trust me you will still want the gears.

Been there done that

Seriously, gears are a must. If you can't get into the power, there is no point in having power period... And on an NA mustang (or any car really...) optimizing the RP gear ratio makes the car alot more fun!

Don't listen to these guys. Call up your gear supplier, and tell them you want 4.56's. That solves that.

i went from 3.08 to 3.73 in my auto and I was kind of disapointed..I guess I was expecting more...should of went with like 4.56 haha...honestly...I dont see why everyone with a mustang throws gears in them...why not put 500 dollars towards a tuner or something else IMO

500 dollar xcal2 and tune on auto gt >500 dollar gears on auto gt

I disagree.. autos need all the gearing help they can get, you are really not going to get that much out of a tuner on a stock car..

plus it's not just getting out of the hole where gears shine. after up shifts you are higher up in the rpm's and this also helps improve acceleration.. they make a big impact on acceleration

On a auto car the two biggest things you can do to improve your acceleration with a stock motor is a good converter and gears..

even on a FI car the converter and gears will help big time.. anybody that says different either has no clue or is intentionally misleading people.

I had 4.10s with my auto and I hated it. I couldn't finish the 1/4 mile without hitting the rev limiter.
