I was just going to get headers but now everyone says just get gears but i didnt want them but now i decided to put them into considiration I have a 03 gt O/R h pipe shaker hood and dual flos
I dont drive on the expressway much but i do want alot of acceleration but it is my dd so i dont want to have to be shifting every 5 secs with the 4.10s
so what should i get the gears or headers i want more acceleration and if gears what kind

[SteviGX]

gears, 3:73's or 3:90's. if its a dd i'd go 3:73's if your worried about gas. You will have to get a shorty xpipe with headers, shorty's don't do hardly anything, basically a waste

[futureMACH1racer]

a 4.10 isn't going to make you shift every second, but if you wnat a good all around gear I would say get a 3.73, but get a FRPP gear. Some aftermarket gears make noises. I have a 4.10 in my Mach and I love it. I even thought of trying a 4.30.

[futureMACH1racer]

3.90 is a good gear aswell, I forgot about the 3.90.

[TheBusher]

4.10s no question

[SteviGX]

mach, what rpm do you run at about 70-80 mph on the highway. I do alot of highway, i want 4:10's i just don't want to be turning 3000 rpms at 75mph

4.10 = 2,661 rpm at 80 mph with stock height tires
3.73 = 2,421 rpm at 80 mph with stock height tires

3.27 vs 3.73 vs 4.10 (took a couple hrs 2 complete... enjoy)

[SteviGX]

and stock is like 2,200ish. isn't it?

Thanks busher.


You are the man!

Stock is 2,122

NP I do what I can

[VanHall]

welll im on the express way 20 miles a week thats it im getting the tuner package with it
so 4:10 or 3:90

[TheBusher]

I would go 4.10s

There will be a noticable difference in accel with the 4.10s compared to the 3.90s, and the rpms at 80 mph will only be 130 rpm lower with 3.90s compared to 4.10s

[VanHall]

hmmm how will it be for city driving with the 4:10s i just want to beat my uncles trailblazer ss and what will my top speed be about

[SteviGX]

Top speed shouldn't matter...because of aerodynamics we can only go about 144. If top speed is important, keep your stock gears

If you run all the way to 6K rpm in 4th and you have stock height tires (245/45/17 or 275/40/17 or 315/35/17), you will top out at 112 mph. If you go into fifth and you have enough power you can get to 180 mph (assuming you have a T-3650).

I don't drive my car very much at all, but around 2600-2700 I would say is accurate. I love the 4.10, and You will too. I highly reccomend it.

[VanHall]

no i just wanted to make sure i jsut hitt 120 so i think i willl go with gears what would my quarter mile time be about with 4:10s compared to 3.90s.Also would the tuner take any time of that

03 gt shaker intake and hood,dual flos,o/r Hpipe

[futureMACH1racer]

That I don't know, but the 4.10 is going to give you more pull down low. You'll have plenty of top end left with the 4.10.

[VanHall]

Mustang Gear Kits would this be a good set

[SteviGX]

yeah just make sure to get the bearing kit. that way you won't have to replace them quite as soon down the road.

[VanHall]

wait the wat can someone just tell me all i have to buy my friend at the auto shop said he will install for free if i order the package what else do i need to buy do i need to get a pinion or something like that?
