4.10's period. You COULD go 4.30's ,but I think the 4.10s are more daily friendly for some who doesn't wanna go crazy. They are way different than your stock,so you will be shifting more.

Dont fear the gear. Buy a rebuild kit if you have a lot of miles on your car. Like $80

BTW - Anytime your askin for help or opinions ,you need to let us know ,what you drive,5spd or auto ,mileage ,currents mod's etc. The more we know about you the easier to help.

Well that just about sums up this thread. Fryrice, is exactly correct IMHO.

ooooh.....car poetry

 

sexy huh!

 

Thanks guys. Well I have a 96 GT with 119,000 and I have an intake, h pipe, and a shift kit. I guess I will give the 4.10's a shot. Where is a good place to get them from?

 

Summit has Motive 4.10s for a nice price. Thats what I have . They are pretty quiet .

I'll give 'em a shot.

 

oooooook :crazy

 

well, i have a 98 GT and i will eventually twin turbo it. should i get 4.10s or get 3.73s cause that's what i heard you have to have with a poweradder

 

if its a daily driver i would seriously consider 3.73s. they will be a big improvement over stock and still good on the highway. if you plan on racing the car a lot 410s are the way to go or 430s

3.73s should work for ya.

Sonic ,the 4.10 really arent that bad ,and they give you a lot more punch. You get used to them IMO. But you make a valid point alos.

 

actually 4.10s will give you better gas mileage around town. but not on the hiway. I suggest 4.10s on NA applications and 3.73 on FI applications.

 

4:10's ftw

 

yeah anytime your boosting go with 3.55s 3.73s or maybe 3.90s but no 4.10s..

 

N/A-4.10s

F.I.-3.73

 

A/T = 4.10

M/T = 3.73

(For D/D applications, where having a 1st gear is essential to driving)

 

I have a MT and 4.10s and use first gear everytime.

 

im going 3.73s with mine cuz gas is a lil different...

Same here. Not to mention 4.10s dig hard in the lower gears. :rockon

 

I love my 4.10s!

 

gears

Just did a post, have a 96 GT auto, 4:10's are fine, except it shifts into o/d about 300 feet before the traps at the 1/4 mile, the a/t shfted at 56-5800 1-2 2-3, but they automatically shift into o/d from 3rd at 5000, which with a 26 " tire is 100 yards or so short of the 1/4. Possibly a shift kit would cure that.

 

yeah i will build a tranny for your application man..i have one..

 

Well I do have a shift kit so we'll see once I can afford the gears.

 

4.10 all the way. There is a reason it is so popular.

Also, first gear is still used on my manual. Granted I'm out of it by 20 and like 4000pm, but it is used just like any other gear. How high did you wind first gear with your stock gears? It is a "get moving" gear around town. Also, with my 4.10 I can leave in second and it feels like my old 3.27 first.

Not to mention while a power adder is ideal with a 3.73 / 3.55, a 4.10 is definitely still something you could pull off. Any higher and you might as well just sit in a waterpit and spin.
