I just wanna say that since I had these installed......OH MY GOD.

If I would have known how much a difference they make, then they would have been the first thing I did to my mustang.

First gear puts you into the backseat if you gain traction. Its NUTS!

Anyone who doesn't have gears, you NEED TO GET SOME!

 

i should FINALLY be getting mine installed next weekend. *keep your fingers crossed*

 

I'll get to mine soon enough. Just got to get the last tool I need to do it.

 

I'm switching to 3:73's soon. I think 4:10's would be to much for me.... Can't wait to do it...

 

seeings how my cars garaged and i got me a s10 as a DD, i'm gonna put me some 4.10's in my car, I would put even bigger but the 7.5 is just too small.

Then I'll eat me some GT's and they'll be like WTF! XD

 

They are not too much, trust me.

You'd have to do more than gears to eat a GT.

 

you should feel how moving from 2.73's to 3.73's

i felt a big difference

 

I'm glad I decided on 4.10's. I think 3.73 would have been too low. I also dont really do any highway driving either, so it only made sense.

You other guys gotta post on how you feel about your gears when you get them installed.

 

I do highway driving and since I sold my beater I have to drive the stang everyday.... Hopefully that won't last to long. Plus I think it will be better when I get my blower hopefully this time next year when I get back from the desert.

 

You'll need a little nitrous or something for a new edge GT..and some more of it for a s197.

 

Blower - iirc, higher gear ratio.

Turbo - lower gear ratio.

 

somewhat true:

Centrifugal Supercharger (Procharger, Vortech, etc) - high gear ratio or bust (3.90-4.10)
Positive Displacement Supercharger (KB, Whipple, Eaton) - mid gear ratio (3.55-3.73)
Turbochrager - lower gear ratio (3.02-3.27)

i remember how good it felt to have my 4.10's. it honestly should have came stock. you can cruise 70mph comfortably at 2100 rmps i believe (its been so long since i drove my stang i cant remember). i cant even remotely rememberr how it feels to drive a stock geared mustang. i have had mine for 2.5 years and i love them. best modification i have done along with a short throw shifter

last time i checked, cruising at 70mph in my beater i was turning 1900 rpm.

 

When I first put 3.73's in my car I was thinking "man, I should of got the 4.10's" Then when I got the supercharger installed less than a year later. I was thinking "damn, I'm glad I didnt get those 4.10's"

I dont know what its like to ride in a stock geared mustang. I have had gears in my car for over 5 years. I have a auto and cruise 70 around 2300 rpms.

 

I'm going with a vortech so I think the gears will compliment it nice.. If not I'll just switch it up a little more.

 

I've got one more major suspension part, torque arm, and then I'm on to performance. 3:73 gears is going to be close to the top of the list. I had 3:73 gears in my other mustang and never really thought that I needed 4:10s. Gears do make a huge difference. I do a lot of highway and interstate driving though and 3:73 is what I need. I've got HIDs, bumpsteer kit, hood latches,and front control arm bushings sitteng here waiting to be installed.

 

The bumpsteer kit made it?

 

Install that HID kit and get pics!

 

Yeah, I ment to send you a PM to let you know. It got here quick as hell, thanks.

I'm planning on it. It will probably be a while before it gets done though. I want it to warm up a bit, also I'm going to be at my apartment for a at least a month more. That means the car is going to be dirty and no good for pictures.

 

This makes me a sad panda.
