question about 410 gears

If you have a 5 speed, you can get the Dalls Mustangs Speed Calibrater. You can get it at www.ninosport.com Make sure it fits your car though:

Some good points here.
Look at it this way:
1 - Speed Cal - $100
2 - Timing Ajuster - $160
That's $260 plus the pain of installing. A tuner can be had for $375 - $400 new from a dealer and you can calibrate the speedo, advance your timing, PLUS firm up and change your shift points, increase your rev limiter, get rid of the speed gov, clear codes, and the car will run better. So basically, you are paying and extra $125 or so to do all that other stuff and you don't have to install anything. It's a no brainer to me.

I would use this as an good excuse to get a chip or a programmer! That's what I did! Oh and remember don't let Ford know you have a chip or warranty = bye bye!
In terms of gas mileage difference I have 3.73s and on the highway I still beat the EPA rating on my window sticker! I wasn't driving all nice either! So that made me laugh! Around town if you're like most Mustang drivers you can't resist having some fun and the gears make it more fun so you'll probably notice a drop! lol!

i picked some gas MPG with because i get up to cruising speed faster. the MPG i picked isnt all that impressive for a five speed but for an auto to 315 320 to a full tank is pretty good. i think thats like 22 23 mpg its better then my usual 18 19.

With a chip or tuner you could remove the governor and raise the rev limiter, so that would in someways solve your problem but my question is how often do most people top their cars out... probably not very often.

Even if that is from a different transmission, 4th gear is 1:1 on both of them, so the 4th gear numbers should still be correct. and thanks a lot for that chart, I think I will go ahead and get the 4.10's, I don't need to be going that fast anyways. :thumbsup:
