good call. go with 3.73's with 4.10's in a manual first gear is almost non excistant. you will notice both 3.73s and 4.10's. but with alot of highway driving i would definatly say 3.73's all the way! thats what im going with. get a t-loc also!

Also one of the best mods you can do. __________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/shadowx/mustang_pics
