Default Gears

hey guys. i'm looking into getting a t-lok and new gears for my 2001 v6. for a daily driver car, would i be better off getting 3.73 gears or 4.10s? and will they affect my gas millege at all?

the difference will be like 1mpg loss. i think you can handle that. get the 4.10s and never look back.

what exactly do the 4.10 give you? better exeleration or what? I herd it give you more gas mileage in town and bad on highway.

gas milage shouldnt be a problem...you bought a mustang

but it depends on auto or stick...will get better city mpg because you get to overdrive faster...then less mpg on highway but really not all that much
