If I get the 4.10 can I take 5th gear all the way to redline? Or does it bog down like it does with stock gearing?

Oh happy days, I got curious yesterday on the way home and checked my speed in 5th gear at 2000RPM.....and if I had factory gears should have been going 69mph.. But, nope I was going 60.

HAppy to say that I have 3.73 gears! WOO HOO! Planned on getting them anyway, now don't have to! I love finding out things are already done to a car that I didn't know about when I bought it!

what is the tranny on a automatic 03 gt
is it the 4r70w standard or 4r70w wide?

whitethunder46 · 02-16-2006, 02:10 PM

OK, I'll be installing FRPP 4.10's soon, car has 50K miles on it, get the bearing kit or not?

Yeh, get it. If nothing else its extra insurance, and might save you money getting it the first time.

*Lances03SVT* · 02-16-2006, 03:15 PM

Yes with that many miles.Better to be safe than sorry.

GT4DUMMIES · 03-02-2006, 08:58 PM

no question - replace the bearings and the races

jeredan2003 · 03-05-2006, 09:07 PM

You cant just slap some gears in you need to adjust the Backlash too so it doesnt whine.

seancolon · 04-06-2006, 10:23 AM

I know that the 410's are supposed to be good 1/4 mile gear, but I want something that will give me really nice pull off the line and midrange, but ISNT GOING TO murder my car in gas.. I drive my mustang 86 miles a day back and forth to work... With gas prices at 2.57 a gallon for regular.. I kinda want something taht will no be so much worse them my stock gears... I average between 230 - 260 miles on a ful tank as it is.... Any ideas on witch gears to get.

Most people will tell you to go with 3.73s for v6s, 4.10s for 2v v8s, and 4.30s for 4v v8s. This is usually recommended for all Naturally Aspired engines, and even for the Forced Inductioned 03-04 Cobras.

Is there a different or "specific" Gear Ratio to be applied to the new 3v V8's, or would they most likely fall into one those already mentioned? If so, which one?

the 3v's breathe very well up in the higher rpm range. i'd say 4.10's

4.10's will not murder your car on gas... you will get maybe a couple mpg less than before...

What's the deal with this? I thought putting the recalibration gears would solve this. I don't really have the money for a tuner or speedcal these days.
