ok guys i have a shift kit ful injectors from K&N for performance...but this spring im getting custom true duals and im going to lose low end torgue so i want to boost my acceleration and hey i was thinking gears..i've heard 4:10's and stuff. if i get these gears will my gas milage go down and how much acceleration can i expect in a gain even after the duals

[Onemanzu]

Honestly you don't lose that much bottom end with an exhaust system... i hardly notice/miss my bottom end torque...

you wanna go 4.10s unless you care THAT MUCH about gas milage... also if you drive mostly all high ways 3.73s is your route ... but for average driving go with 4.10s give me a second and i can get you the cheapest prices in town

thanks
oh and how do i put a picture in my signature lol

[Onemanzu]

scroll to the top ... put your mouse over the banner at the top but DON'T click ... move it to the double D's in moddedmustangs and then move it down ... you will find a button that says [User CP v] click it and then go to edit sig... from there you want to upload a picture from where ever...

after you do that you want to ... go left to the nose of the cat... then go down to the warning sign then go left to the scale click it and have fun

[xSxTxAxNxGx]

haha thanks man oh and how much accel can i expect out of those gears?

[Onemanzu]

this much

i don't know it shaved about 4 tenths off AB's quarter mile when he did it in his car but he had full exhaust and a tuner too

[xSxTxAxNxGx]

so an ok amount not too much and not too little..basically dont expect too much lol?

[Onemanzu]

yea don't expect to be as fast as a WS6 or something just cause you got gears that would be crazy

but you will notice it and it will be nice... like i said 4 tenths of a 1/4 mile is pretty good... but its not crazy fast...

ACTUALLY!! lemme go find a video of one... i know it exists

ooook thank you...again...and again..and again lol

[Blackbeauty v601]

dont you have to recalibrate the speedometer if you get gears?

[Onemanzu]

yes sir

sn-95 (round) need a new speedo gear
new edges need the computer to be recalibrated

[tjames]

i completely agree with onemanzu, 3.73 if you do a lot of highway driving, and 4.10s for regular around town/track driving

[MWWarlord]

This is a great thread. I know gears are still a few things away on my "list" But this is very helpful. BTW just out of curiosity why are 3.73 better for highway?

[Onemanzu]

say your going 80 mph and you have 4.10s out back ... your RPMS might be at 3k with 3.73s they would be more like 2.8k

since you have a round SN you might look into 3.73s more so then 4.10s ... new edges work well with 4.10s in both ... Rounds go like this ... 3.73s in the manual .. 4.10s in autos

thats how it goes and if you wanna know more, click the thread at the top about gears ...

[tjames]

also to add higher rpm's for long periods of time(highway travel) equals worse gas milage and more work for the engine. thats why if there is alot of highway travel(such as in my case) 3.73's are a better choice and thats what i will be going with. however if you have a car that is mostly on the street or the track and only goes on the highway every once in a while for trips or things but not on a daily basis for long periods of time, or ig you do and could care less about gas mileage and 80 at high RPS's or any combo of anything i just said then 4.10s is the way to go!

also 4.10s are better with an automatic because with 4.10s in a manual first gear is extremely short
