matter of preference

410s = awesome acceleration but bad @ highway speeds

373s are bit of the best of both worlds...

this debate/ conversation comes on here all the time

Go 4:10s man. I still have stock but if you are gonna go..go big so you don't have to pay again to get them later on..because trust me..you WILL get them later on.

99.9% of questions asked by noobies have been answered over and over and over. It only takes a few seconds to run a search and find your answer. And you think redundant questions will keep this board alive?Thats whey theres a sticky in the tech section concerning gears....how am i harrassing him.

I agree with you that we were all noobies at some point in time and asked the same questions over and over..but if you really look at it, our board is alot more sympathetic to most noobies..any other board would delete posts like this in a sec...

Well...lets be that forum that doesnt tell people to do a search. Lets provide answers to questions even if you have heard it 474389 times.
MEGA forums like Stangnet that have 8932893289320 members on in one day tell noobs to do a search. Almost like they have sinned for asking a question.
And then you have MustangBoards which isnt as big, but is more personable and respectful towards guests.

BIGGER isnt better, BETTER is Better.

This forum is welcome to all users, new and old. W/o noobs stopping in, we are nowhere. If you don't want to read a post, then don't. You know what the subject is. Sometime noobs are not even aware that you can do a search...

Anyway, back to topic 4.10's

Seriously, if you get 3.73's, you will only wish you had 4.10's. There are a lot more guys that have gone from 3.73's to 4.10's, then the other way around. Hell, I am installing a blower and keeping the 4.10's.

Don't fear the gear!
