best gear for my set up

1BADSTANG · September 28th, 2007, 12:53 PM

Hey, if you look at the mods in my sig, theirs NO gear change, im running 2.73's... which i mean im suprised at how much go my car has off the line but still i need the lower gears now. I am DEFINITELY not doing 4.10's i have the top gear power. I want either 3.55 or 3.73. I wont be doing lots of highway driving but i still dont want to be passed when i git 4th-5th gear... what do you think?

Tony_90fox · September 28th, 2007, 12:55 PM

4:56s

Nah, i wouldnt go with anything higher than 3:73s

HMUSN · September 28th, 2007, 12:55 PM

3:73's than.

1BADSTANG · September 28th, 2007, 01:27 PM

1BADSTANG · September 28th, 2007, 01:27 PM

in my original post i meant HATE not have

2nd and third are most likely going to be your best gears i would say with those mods

nolife · September 28th, 2007, 03:29 PM

Most people that frequent here on MM suggest 3.73 as a bare minimum and 4.10 most of the time. My local area crowd typically suggests 3.55 or 3.73 about equally and a few 4.10's in the mix. Strange.

i have 4.10's in my car, and was told by everyone if i didn't get them i'd regret it. They were right.

my friend had 3.73 in his 90 GT convertible, but he also had it bored and the edelbrock upper and lower intake. Car was a monster without gears, but when he put them in the car was dominating the locals

I say the 3.73 is the all around better gear for foxes....but thats just my .02

sniperrider · September 28th, 2007, 06:22 PM

3.73's ftw i have them and love them you get great of the line and im cruisen at 80mph at 2500 or so rpm...plus 2nd is one torquey mother f'er and third holds its own, as far as getting passed, well thats why you drop her down to third and chirp em'

Drick · September 28th, 2007, 06:39 PM

3.73 FTW thats what I have and they work just fine I dont want anything lower than that

2007calispecial · September 28th, 2007, 07:15 PM

ty guys

Speedstang302 · September 29th, 2007, 09:35 PM

well theres not a HUGE dif. between 3:73's and 4:10's...but 3:55's pull rlly hard and have more top end..but if never gunna get on the highway 3:73's..4:10's are cool too..but not to fun on highway..cuz you're in higher rpms in high gears at lower speeds

Tony_90fox · September 30th, 2007, 03:59 AM

but they help you do the speed limit! lol...because you dont want to be turning too many RPMs at 80, so you slow down some. Well at least i have!
