which gears do you think I should get, 373 or 410

They'll be fine as long as you don't buy the piggy back ones.Get the steedas and you will have no problems.Do a search on here, there are like 4000000 threads on this.

BOTH!!!

As far as pullies? I'm taking mine off. My car gets too hot and I'm having charging issues. I just replaced a 4 year battery that is only 3 years old. I got it prorated and all but it sucks to get stranded with a dead battery. Just my opinion that in the long run they are detrimental. Now on a lightly driven car you will have lesser issues but I drive 30K a year so my concern is reliabilty over 5 or 6 horsepower.

what about 473s or even 310s, do they come in different colors?

I heard that if you don't add any fluid to the rearend, you can get them to turn red.I don't know how well that will match your car though.

red and white go well together, can I get my doors powder coated? What about my headlights, can I get new titanium/greaseless bearings for them?

Come on now...you were a newbie once...

Get 4.73's if you are towing 737's. Otherwise the 3.10's will be good for your tricycle.

What?? Are you just plain stupid?? No one powdercoats their doors. First, you hook up the CAI up to your differential, then paint your bumpers!! You only powdercoat the door HANDLES and only if they're carbon fiber.

Geez, some people....

For someone with a DSG mustang, you really dont get it. Why powdercoat the handles when you can do the entire door and chrome the handles. Neon handles look good as well. You should have kept the catfish, mullethead

Ditto on the Steedas u/d....the best no problems...get them professionally installed

This is an important point. The owner of the local Mustang performance shop talked me out of pulleys for 2 reasons:

1. They cause the allready too hot 2V 4.6L motors to run even hotter;
2. You only get gains of 2 rwhp for every 2000 rpm on a cool motor. This is quickly negated when the motor gets hot.
