I haven't personally, but I have seen guys here who do. You're looking at an increase of about 400 rpm on the highway in 5th gear.

It's really not that bad, GTM. Check out this information I was handed by a fellow S197 member of this board:


" at 70 MPH I am around 2500 RPM and at 80 just under 3000

Try out the calculator it is 100 % accurate
http://home.comcast.net/~swieduwilt0...lculations.xls

I do Love the 4.10's not bad on the highway."

For me, 2500 rpm @ 70mph is not that high. Think back to the days before cars had O/D. They ran higher than that.

You're not going to be wearing things out any quicker, and besides, if you are modding your car, you're going to be pounding on it. And if you're pounding on it, well then, to me, anyway, longevity kind of becomes less of an issue, doesn't it? lol

My car is a daily driver. 4.10's w/spydershaft noticebly quicker off the line, run through the gears much quicker to reach top end speed using fifth gear more effectively. Am I happy with my mods? I got 52,000 miles on my car in 1 1/2 years. FTW

Yeah it has it's moments...especially in the winter (see my bad week thread in the pic section lol)

But, I love where I live, it's a gorgeous area surrounded by lakes, but there is no good work here.

And I have a great job. And my wife runs a business out of the house, and would have to start all over...and I have a child in grade 12. So a move of that distance would be pretty intense for them. So, I make the drive, once a week. It's not as bad as it sounds, especially in a new Mustang GT.
