Gears


I just got this car about a month ago n im trying to make it get up n go. I talked to one of the shops by my house n they told me to go with 4:10 gears. I was thinking those are way to high? should i go with those or would 3:73 be better. I got an auto and its a daily driver. O yea its a 92 GT

with an AOD do the 4:10s...you really wont notice and huge difference between 3:73s and 4:10s...and people will recommend ford racing, pro-5.0 and richmond...fords are made by both, and richmonds the cheapest...so go that way...

3.73 for a more drivable car 4.10's are still streetable but its kinda preference. if it were me personally, i would do 4.10

well i have 4.10s in my 97 gt. but that heavy tank needs them. I was just thinking the 4.10 might be a bit much in a light ass coupe.

either way....theres rlly no difference..its down to tenths in 1/4 time on the difference...both of you do 4:10s...

UJ...with those 97's weighing 3500lbs or so...and it prob still launches pretty good w/ those 4:10s...imagine that in an 3000lb 5.0...

yeah i hope mine is a lean car, its a 79 and im carbing it and it hasnt got carpet inthe trunk and doesnt have 1/2 the wiring and modules and crap the newer cars have and the plasitics on the interior arent that heavy sooooooo. even with a stock engine (minus the f cam which probably is hurting more than helping) and a set of gears this fucker better do some 13s easily

A lot of it depends on your tire height too.

yeah im running most bolt ons besides my gt40 heads and gt40 upper and lower now..still running fcam and it still goes pretty good...not 12 seconds anymore but i'd say with same driver and slicks mid 13s...that fcam actually isnt bad w/ stock motors, prob another 10-15hp over stock...with an gt40 upper and lower, and gt40 heads that cams performance should pop to like 25hp...along with intake and heads prob over 60..
