4.10 gears. HELP

00mustang92 · January 12th, 2010, 04:19 PM

What will RPM's be at 70 mph with 4.10 gears in my 8.8 rearend 2000 Mustang? Bout to buy some and car is a daily driver. I don't do a lot of parkway driving but I do drive little fast sometimes...

Thanks it took me a lil while to find it but I did and for that I am going wit the 4.10

jamesxcore4 · January 13th, 2010, 04:25 PM

i drove my car with 4.10's across country, getting 30 mpg at 110 mph, and have put over a thousand miles on them on side street/freeway driving locally around southern california, and let me tell you from a very experienced stand point:

you will not be disappointed or annoyed by them. first gear will fly by, but theyre just right if you have a 5 speed.

00mustang92 · January 13th, 2010, 07:12 PM

Yeah I had a 94 mustang with them in it but it ran at 3000 rpm doin 70 and it was hard on it, it run like shit after u got off parkway, but from wat i been told it should be about 2500 rpm in this one. I no it won't hurt gas mileage i just don't want it to be hard on car.

jamesxcore4 · January 13th, 2010, 07:24 PM

i guess it all comes down to your tranny gears, and the length of them. im not sure if the 05 GT's have much taller gears but this setup on my car is perfect. wouldnt have it any other way.

00mustang92 · January 13th, 2010, 08:34 PM

Well I hope its fine because thats wat i'm goin to go with. THX

jamesxcore4 · January 13th, 2010, 08:40 PM

if youre looking at making the car more fun, and want it to be quicker through each gear, 4.10's are youre winner.

if you worry about MPG at all, you may just want to step down one level of gear ratio.

00mustang92 · January 13th, 2010, 11:35 PM

it won't hurt it that much though anyways may 1-2 mpg id say

Applehead281 · January 14th, 2010, 01:44 PM

when i took a trip to michigan i was taching about 2300 at 75 mph with a 26 inch tall tire

and my car is a stick also which does make a little difference.

00mustang92 · January 15th, 2010, 12:48 PM

Yeah my car is 5 speed too. but I don't think my tires r that tall.

F8L GT · January 15th, 2010, 12:51 PM

stock tire is 26"

00mustang92 · January 15th, 2010, 01:19 PM

hell well i guess they r. I'm goin wit the 4.10 then. THX

Ryan Paymaster · January 21st, 2010, 01:46 AM

You'll disappoint yourself if you went with anything besides a 4.10. Good call.

00mustang92 · January 24th, 2010, 12:51 AM

Yeah thanks I done bought gears and everything to put them in. Now i just waiting for the shop thats going to do it work me in. it should be sometime this coming week.

YeloPony · January 25th, 2010, 07:29 PM

just picked mine up today (4.10 FRPP)... It's a completly different car (in a great way!!!) + I had a tune too... 80mph 3k rpms uphill... Smooth.. DO IT!

Sammyboy · January 26th, 2010, 09:54 PM

Gears are the most dramatic mod that you can make

00mustang92 · January 26th, 2010, 11:45 PM

So it won't hurt them on the parkway doing 3,000 rpm for a long distance?

nope you'll be fine.. I know a guy with 4.10s drove from PA to SC for a show 80-85 the whole way got well over 20mph..

00mustang92 · January 27th, 2010, 12:42 PM

Ok that was the only thing i was worried about because I had a 94 mustang one time with 4.10 and it run like crap after i got off parkway driving 3,000 rpm the whole way but i think that car had more problems.
