Good work. But I have an auto

06GTMustang89 · November 19th, 2007, 04:31 PM

i guess no one else really appreciates these numbers

leebunnyz · November 19th, 2007, 05:57 PM

oldernewbie · November 19th, 2007, 06:38 PM

lee: ill prolly be getting 3.73's since i do highway driving about 45% of the time and its a happy medium between the 3.55's that i have now and the 4.10's. now if i were to be doing street driving like 80% of the time then i would go with 4.10's. I think 3.73's will be a good improvement overall.

ArmyStang07 · November 19th, 2007, 11:05 PM

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I was looking for a comparison a few days ago on the web and couldn't find one.

Drick · November 20th, 2007, 12:55 AM

Good info nice I think its cool you took the time to do that should help out alot of people

06GTMustang89 · November 20th, 2007, 01:04 AM

not a problem i enjoy crunching numbers like that i just think how amazing it is how much of a difference (number wise) that these lower gears make

302svt · November 20th, 2007, 01:12 AM

Great write up.

IronStomach · November 20th, 2007, 11:37 AM

Hey thanks for the numbers!

I was wondering what the differences between the 3.55 and 3.73 were. And yeah, I joined the forums just to thank you. = )

06GTMustang89 · November 20th, 2007, 11:47 AM

no problem man and WELCOME!! youll love it here

RStrick0352 · November 20th, 2007, 08:37 PM

I think 3.73's are as low as you need to go with these cars. I'm by no means makin big power but I am running consistent high 1.6 low 1.7 60 foots. I can understand 4.10's for the auto's but 3.73 is plenty for the manuals. Plus I'm still getting mid 20's mpg highway fuel economy, HA, I love these cars.

menace07 · November 21st, 2007, 12:55 AM

Thanks for the right up! I was dead set on 4.10's, but not so sure now. Plan on s/c or turbo, so maybe 3.73's...You guys think its worth the money to step up one gear size?

06GTMustang89 · November 21st, 2007, 12:56 AM

do 3.73's with a power adder like that they hate 4.10's hahaha

06GTMustang89 · November 21st, 2007, 01:38 AM

how much is a gear install usually?
