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?

get 4.10's the v6 really needs the help with more gearing. Plus you will love them alot more.

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
