well what are your plans with the car keeping it N/A or F/I and as far as installing them if you have never done this type of work it will be hard for you specially if all the tools required are not available then pay someone to do it

3.27 are the factory gears for the GT's. Upgrading to a 3.73 gear is almost as big of a jump as the difference between 3.73's and 4.10's. As was said before, it usually depends on what route you are going with your stang. I know I am staying N/A, therefore 4.10's will be the better route for me. But, if you are thinking about adding turbo/supercharger, then 3.73's would be your best bet. I wouldn't think about installing the gears myself, since I don't have much experience with installing gears. But, if you know you have the right tools & equipment, then it's certainly possible. Good luck!

well the FRPP gear set are the easiest too install and they run about 180 if your car dosent have that many miles like 75K then the old bearings can be used so labor ussually run around 225-300 depending where you ask and go

i got 3.73's and i like them, I plan on adding a S/C in less than 1 year. So 4.10's would have been too much for me. But if you are going to stay N/A go with 4.10's, if your going to add a s/c or something, then go with the 3.73's...if your still unsure. Someone makes a set of 3.90's. I think motive is the name of the company.....good luck
