3:73 Or 3:90's On A 5spd 02 GT

stangbanger · October 11th, 2006, 01:44 PM

im trying to decide what gears to get for my 02 stang.i have headers and CAI and want to go with the gears next and cant make up my mind.from what i hear 4:10's are too much for a 5 spd but i wouldnt mind meeting in the middle with 3:90's.what do yal think?

mdvaldosta · October 11th, 2006, 01:46 PM

None of the above, 4.10's

Dude, theirs only like 200rpm difference between 3.73's and 4.10's on the highway. You'll be at like 2400rpm at 70mph with 4.10's.

exactly right. thats where i'm at and i gottan auto..i dont really know bout man trans.

if you go for the 3.73 then your SOFT!

unless of course you plan on going with FI in the future

stangbanger · October 11th, 2006, 03:41 PM

just curious,what is the approximate cut in quarter mile times with the 4:10's compared to the 3:27's?my shit hits 140mph in fourth but it pisses me off that fifth wont pull!

White99stang · October 11th, 2006, 03:45 PM

its called aerodynamics bud with no alot of power. You should be worried about going over 140 unless your at the track with 900hp. Don't risk your life or anyone elses by trying to top out your car. 4.10's would cut down your 4th gear to about 120 or so

itschristorres8 · October 11th, 2006, 09:19 PM

tell me the reason for need to go 140... a good one aside from having MASSIVE power under your hood at the track

00SoSlow · October 12th, 2006, 02:08 AM

just to say u went 140 thats about it

SWEET2KSTANG · October 23rd, 2006, 05:00 AM

IF YOU PLAN ON ALL MOTOR POWER 3.90'S IS THE WAY TO GO. IF BOOST IS IN MIND A LITTLE TALLER GEAR SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BETTER, 3.55 IS WHAT I HAVE. I PLAN ON AN ATI SOON. 3.73'S WOULD BE OK BUT 4.10'S IS IN MY OPINION TOO STEEP FOR A 5SPD CAR.

Drgnracin72 · October 23rd, 2006, 07:37 AM

i also think 4.10 is to steep on an forced induction 2v but some like it. my 4th gear will pull to 120 with 3.73, right at 6300 rpm

gills99stang · October 23rd, 2006, 09:43 PM

I would say 3:73's if your going to get FI in the future, otherwise go with 4:10's!!

4point6GT · October 23rd, 2006, 10:36 PM

in MMnFF they say 4.10 for autos since they lose more power by the time it gets out, so 5 spds 3.73s or 3.90s, I was gonna go for 3.73s cause of S/C in the future but thinkin of 3.90s now to have best of both worlds

...not sure tho

Pony Boy · October 24th, 2006, 05:53 PM

3.90s..... like everyone says the difference between 4.10s and 3.90 arent that much but its better just in case.

ChrisJ · October 25th, 2006, 02:03 AM

I put in 3.73's becuase I was going with a Novi...But now that I am spray only I think I am going to have them changed to 4.10's when I get the 31 spline eaton diff and 31 spline axles put in...

matrixpuba · October 25th, 2006, 11:18 AM

all that TQ. from the spray+ 4:10 = melted rubber.
heck i cant hook up with cams and a procharger.

Pclacross · October 25th, 2006, 03:19 PM
