Those gears on the highway would eat that car up. Your rpm's would be higher than a kite, and crappy gas mileage.

i think we get your point. what im saying is we all are here for speed, not to worry about losing a mpg or two because of some 4:10 gears making are cars FASTER

Do your homework and study up on the pros and cons of the two before you rush into anything.

exactly. this stmiller1974 guy is full of shit.

as i asked in another thread:

what gears do you run?
what tranny do you have?
and what rpms are you at at 75mph?

i have run 4.10s on the street for over a year in GA's hell-hot summers and ran dozens of times down carolina dragway and a couple times at SGMP in cecil, ga. cecil is a 4 hour drive, so dont give the bullshit about streetable gears.

DaemonJ Enthusiast Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Cookeville, TN Posts: 531	This is my daily driver and it sees more highway time than local time. I would like to take it to the track once all of the mods are complete to see what it can do but I don't plan to be a racer and that isn't my goal. As I am just looking to improve the performance from stock, I will most likely go with the 3.73 gears if 75 mph is at 3K rpms. I consistently do 80-85 (at 2K rpms) on the highway and sometimes up to 90 if I have to pass a group. That will probably put me around 4K rpms, which is a bit higher than I would like to be on a normal and extended basis.

For 1999+ manual transmission Mustangs, a Speedcal is the only option. For automatic transmission Mustangs, a Chip or Flash Tuner can adjust the speedometer for the gear you have installed. Whats the deal there....i gotta 03 manual...but cant i use a tuner to set my speedometer right?? that came off of http://www.moddedmustangs.com/ring-a...te-debate.html __________________ If you aren't first.....your last! http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...7_19/Bsig2.jpg

what tranny? i have 4.10s and at 75mph i am at EXACTLY 3k rpms
85 is <3400rpms as well. 120 is less than 4500. i redline at 6k.

these numbers are 100% accurate. i have checked them and compared to stock dozens of times, the mpg does not suffer, and i personally would not take your "estimates" seriously

2400 rpms

from stock ratio, the same rpm goes at 10mph slower on the highway in overdrive.
