Drive 40 miles a day to work and not sure if I want 3.73 or 4.10's. What kind of gas milage willI get with 4.10's? Do I use Ford or Richmond gears?
I have 4.10's in my auto but you will find with most manual transmissions you will not wanna go over 3.73's or possibly 3.55's especially with the price of gas today. I can tell you that SOTP fun goes up with the steeper gears but I have gone thru upwards of $120 a week in gas using my car as a DD. Now I use my Mitsubishi beater and use $40 a week in gas and only use the Stang for meets and and special occasions. JMHO.Drive 40 miles a day to work and not sure if I want 3.73 or 4.10's.

Keep the stock gears. Save money and keep traction. Gears are only good if you get some cams to take you higher in the rpm range. I ran better times in my 98 with stock 2.73 gears than with my 3.73 gears.
I second that.i'd go with the 3.73's if I were you. they are blower safe, plus you won't eat up as much gas on the highway with 3.73's as you will with 4.10's.
