What would you recommend?

J0rn3z · February 24th, 2009, 09:31 AM

I have 3.73 gears and work fine for me, I drive it everyday on the street, Plenty of top end. I say 3.73 is a good balanced gear

patboone7 · February 24th, 2009, 10:11 AM

I would stick with the 3.73 so it will still be a decent driver. The 4.10 would be nasty though!

grnstang · February 24th, 2009, 10:30 AM

manual trans FTW. what trans are you using? don't go any higher than 3.73. once my motor is built ill be switching back to 3.73 so i can run with the turbo boys on the highway

I ended up going with a tko trans. I might just try out the 4.10's that are already in it. but I have 315/35-17 rear tires which is like a 25.7 inch tire so the gear is pretty steep with the 4.10.

Ah, the memories haha.... hell, when I thought 4.56's were fun, 4.88's was just humorous. It pulled so freaking hard.... Ahhhhhh the memories!

TKOTLARZ · February 25th, 2009, 02:10 AM

with the power u have, u dont need 4.10's..those are 2 short..3.73 or 3.55 for sure

chickenbot · February 25th, 2009, 02:22 AM

i love my 3.55's

superbean · February 25th, 2009, 09:40 AM

TKO Box if you insist with a standard tranny. No factory ford transmission will last more than a few passes with that setup lol.

Keep the 4.10s and run a taller tire like a 28x10.50.. which will make it about a 3.90 gear. Still a bit too tall, but Im not sure what gear size is in the TKO box's first gear.

It currently has a 4.10 gear with a manual trans in it but thinking maybe I should go to a 3.31,3.55 or 3.73. What gear would you recommend?

Gear selection depends on many variables. Weight, rpm range, tire size, etc. If its mostly a street car than it isn't a real big deal. Just throw in whatever gears you have laying around.

Good luck with that manual transmission and 800+ horsepower on nitrous. Unless its a Liberty, Jericho or equivalent it is going to be laying in pieces all over the road if you ever spray it on a sticky tire.

Mustangbrake · February 25th, 2009, 11:51 AM

4.10 is the best.

Thanks.

+1

MONEY #1 reason most guys run autos, the clutch for that one will cost almost as much as a C4 trans

This man is correct. Even though, we don't see eye to eye, He is 99.9% correct.
