i am pretty sure both would cause your wheels to spin like that.. just get which ones you prefer the 4.10s will be faster just harder on gas.. i doubt its all that noticable tho

no. t-lok opens up in corners because it is a clutch-packed locker that only locks in straight lines. you will spin the same as an open diff, but any mustang will spin in wet roads.

get 4.10s though.

The 4.10s will be a little too low for the added power of a S/C. Fuel mileage differences will barely be noticeable either way. As far as wet weather performace, all Mustangs suck/rock (depending on how you look at it ) in the rain. A lower gear will get the tires up to speed faster, which in turn, will cause them to spin quicker when wet. Its not catastrophic though, just learn to get used to the difference in torque feeling and dont drive stupid in the rain and you'll be fine! __________________ http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/9...edited47ip.jpg
