alright thanks

I will suggest gears, general rule 3.73 manua/ 4.10 auto they don't add power but you will feel more acceleration, oh and the tuner to fix your speedo and it will also add more power to your bolt ons 1999-2004 Ford Mustang Gears at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

and Welcome to MM

Edit: it will be better for us if you tell us how much are you looking to spend right now cuz the installation will run around 200-400 depending on the area/shop.

For a louder sound get a custom made exhaust 'will be cheaper".

I forgot to add the traction lock as well sorry so you can have the power on both wheels and that's a couple of hundreds more to add.

those gears from ford racing are around300 if im correct for a kit, what do those gears mostly do . And as for a tunner, what should i be looking for ?

Big Daddys Stang · November 7th, 2009, 01:33 AM

SCT tuner, diablo or the live wire but its more expensive, most people use the sct so I will recommend that one.

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 01:37 AM

theres are the gears i have in mind, are these ok for my 99 v6 3.8L.Ford Mustang 4.10 Gears at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! Are the traction locks nes.?

Big Daddys Stang · November 7th, 2009, 01:41 AM

Those are for an 8.8 rear end which belongs to the Gt's you need a the 7.5 differential, do you own an auto or manual? btw you will loose a little mpg on the freeway 2-3 aprox but won't' affect you on the city at low speeds.

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 01:46 AM

would i have to get the 8.8 bearing kit and traction loc ? would a ford rebuilt kit be ok ?

Big Daddys Stang · November 7th, 2009, 01:49 AM

No you need to buy them for a 7.5 this is the one i'm talking about Ford Racing 7.5" 28 Spline Traction - LOK Limited Slip Differential at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 01:50 AM

Big Daddys Stang · November 7th, 2009, 01:52 AM

4.10 will be great for the auto and no problem on the help, hurry lol I gotta work tomorrow morning...

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 01:53 AM

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 01:56 AM

is this going to effect driving in snow and rain, even with blizak snow tires/studs

Big Daddys Stang · November 7th, 2009, 01:57 AM

Okay you can put 3.73 or 4.10 or any other if they're made for the 7.5 cuz theirs some for the 8.8 differential and 7.5 differential/

No. 2 tires with traction> 1.

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 02:09 AM

whats better for my v6, the 4.10 with the 7.5 spline traction lok limited slip diffrentals or the 3.73...should i go with ford racing gears or could motive performance be ok ? IS there any other part i would need becides these two

Big Daddys Stang · November 7th, 2009, 02:14 AM

4.10 for the auto, and in my opinion ford racing gears/ I have heard more people saying that motive gears whine some people say its on the installation others blame the gears.

I'm done today bro, I'm sure there will be more people helping you out most likely tomorrow but feel free to pm me..
