someone tell me to get some gears!

[smellmygas]

i went to the track this past weekend for the first time in my stang...although my times were struggling there was quite a lot of humitity, and im on bs tires. ran 14.3 @99
question: i was getting to the end of the 1/4 in low 3rd gear like 3-4k rpms, 2nd gear seemed like it was forever. what gears can i possibly have? does this sound right or am i on stock gears?
i thought the guy said it had 3.73's in it when i bought it but it cant be?
anyone

With my 3.73's I have to shift into 4th before I reach the end of the 1/4 mile. Back with 2.73's I believe I was right around 3k-4k rpm in 3rd gear just like you.

Dude,you gotta a 14.3 with stock gears,and street tires? WOW,,,Get some DR's first,see how far into the 13's that gets you Then get some gears,373's over stock will get you a real "healthy" time slip

get some serious gears

easy way to tell is mark the axle jack up the rear on the dog bone and spin the tire. i cant remeber how many times you spin the tires to how mant times the dot spins is the gear ratio maybe some one can chime in?

Oh thank God! I thought I was the last guy on the planet to have 2.73's. I ordered 3.73's today .

Get some gears ya' fruit!!!!! (j/k)
Nice times...very nice. All driver baby, all driver!

Guess that makes me the last person with stock gears

They are 2.73's. Spin the tire one rotation and count how many times the driveshaft turns to confirn it.

Not quite. ~70mph @ 3000rpm in 4th.
