Is it your dd or is it for the track? t5 or auto?
Both will work depending on the above and what combo ur running. I say if you do alot of highway driving stick w/ the 373s otherwise 410s. BTW Im currently running 373s in my vert, but I have also run 3.55 and 410s in some of my other cars. Its all about what you want and what your using the car for. Good luck in your decision.

my car for the moment is a daily driver and I do a lot of highway driving. I have 4.10's and am still getting 24 mpg on the highway.

Hey, shes my daily driver, with a manual tranny. I dont know how all of your guys stangs are, but even when im on the highway doing 75, im still in 4th gear, my 5th gear is geared extremely high. So if i geared it with 4.10's i guess i could stick it in 5th then. How would that do?

i have 3.73s in my car they arent bad and mine is also my daily driver. They are ok, but i think i am going to go to 4.10s once i get a few more mods on my car but for my car being basically stock they are good.

I've had two 5.0's in my life and in my opinion 3.73's seem just right for these cars. I have 3.55's now but only because it's a stroker motor with more hp. Even still I think I'd like to have 3.73's especially at the track because it feels a little under-geared for a higher revving engine.

3.73 is the PERFECT gear. Just get 3.73's.. 4.10s are for like no boost track cars. If you put slicks and 4.10's i bet you could snap the stock axle if u really wanted to

I had 3.90s and they were pretty nice but my car is also a bit lighter than a 94-95. they werent bad on the highway. there is only like a 200-400 rpm difference between 373s and 410s anyway.

REALLY? Let's do this.....Post what gears you are running, and what RPM they rev at, at a certain speed.

For me, I have 3.55's, my speedo is way off, but I would say at 90 MPH i probably rev at 2,400 RPM, maybe even a little lower.

I really don't like my 3.55's, am thinking about switching to 3.73's but am afraid i won't notice a difference.

But i am also thinking about stroking my engine to a 408, for which i will want the 3.55's.

Man modding cars is such a roller coaster!!!!
