4.10s or 3.73

scxc15 · March 21st, 2007, 03:33 AM

Which gears should I get and does it matter that much

mustang1072 · March 21st, 2007, 04:05 AM

o it matters...haha... get 4.10! they r the best for quick acceleration and u will really notice it... but if u worry about gas mileage then id go with the 3.75

GreenFaleen · March 21st, 2007, 10:16 AM

you mean 3.73 :wink

the gas difference is pretty much negligible. If you have a stick and aren't very good at driving it you will want 3.73's since the 4.10's first will be very very short, but if you have an auto no question get 4.10's

On a 8.8 2.73 rear end. I'm not sure about a newer V6 (they have 7.5, right?) so you may want to plug your rear end gear into the equation to find out what the RPMs would be for sure.

EDIT: It also depends on your transmission, duh. I know Jason is right about 2.73 rear end behind a T5. Double check with someone who knows how it actually works out for you.

does anybody know if there is data on 1/8 and 1/4 mile times for the diffrent gears? ex; 3.27, 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10. would make a good sticky, a lot of peolple ask about it

97Cobra · April 1st, 2007, 01:49 AM

i did a imbarrising 9.19 in the 1/8 with 4.10s........well i also have all season tires and spin through most of 1st n 2nd n some of 3rd...lol

ujslost · April 4th, 2007, 01:42 AM

get 4.30s

89StangGT · April 12th, 2007, 04:17 PM

my car got better gas milage with 4.10s over 2.73s

matrixpuba · April 12th, 2007, 06:34 PM

i drive on the highway alot so 3:73 gears were the right choice. if i lived in a city, 4:10s minimum.

Hey all i also drive on the highway, but im really into the acceleration side of speed rather than top speed.

I understand that 3.73 have more speed where as 4.10 are known for its quick accelration?

Is there any chance of getting both charecteristics? I heard 3.55 Gears is a compromise?

Somebody please clarify. Oh and i drive on the highway 2wice a week which is a stretch of 85 Km's.

Cheers.

sounds like you want 3:73 gears

i drive on the highway at least twice a week about a hour away with my 4.10s and a 26 inch tall tire, i dont ever have any problems.

matrixpuba · April 25th, 2007, 02:11 PM

what is the final drive in your tranny? are you running a t-5

Globetrecker · April 28th, 2007, 07:59 PM

There is another option that is a good all-around compromize - a 3.90 gear. Pro-5.0 makes both gears and shifters. The 3.90 gears they make are new to the 8.8 rear end and fill the void between the 3.73 and 4.10 gears. Back in the days of the early muscle cars (mid 60s), the 3.9x gears were a factory option that you could order on just about every high performance car you could buy. Some cars came with the 3.9x gears as standard equipment which let you put the power to the ground and still left the car very driveable at the same time.

go to http//pro50.meridian1.net to see their products

FYI - I have an '06' GT with the automatic trans and am going to get the 3.90 gears from Pro-5.0. They are priced at $199.99 and according to MUSTANGS & FAST FORDS magazine, the Pro-5.0 gears are supposed to be stronger and higher quality than the gears offered by Ford.

97Cobra · April 29th, 2007, 12:12 AM

I personally like FRPP....my FRPP 4.10s are sooo quiet....now i can hear other lil annoying squeaks.....damn disc brakes! lol
does anyone eles with 4.10s kinda spin the tires just a lil when just going normal at al stop light? because mine do. they spin n i go about 1/2 to the side...lol not even trying to get on it or anything....lol

radi22 · May 10th, 2007, 01:13 AM

I just went from 3:55s to 4:10s two days ago and had Steeda UPSs installed at the same time. The RMP difference is barely noticeable. You will just shifting at slightly different speeds with them.

I get better gas mileage now than with the 3:55s and the car performs as if it were designed to have the 4:10s before the EPA influence showed up.

Trust me. Go with the 4:10s. You'll never regret it.
