It has always been like this.
4.10's for a NA Stang.
3.73's for a Blown Stang.
3.90's for a compromise of the two.

Hey, I resemble that remarkDark Knight GT said:There are many misinformed people posting in this thread, bearing in mind some of you actually know what you're talking about.
mdvaldosta said:Unfortunately alot of people think just that. I feel sorry for those that listen. If your into performance then going with 3.73's for a typical bolt-on or typical supercharged setup is a waste of available power.... especially if its a centrifugally charged Mustang. Don't fear the gear!

I don't think it will make it pull like a Mach 1. But it will certainly make the car more lively.Bullitt0616 said:I searched and couldn't find anything on this, but is there someone out there who has measured 0-60MPH and 1/4 improvements of gears alone?
i have a stock Bullitt with 3.27's and was thinking of going 4.10's. I heard somewhere that 4.10s on a GT pulls like a Mach 1. If so, saying a stock GT goes from 0-60 in about 5.6 seconds, what would 4.10' do?
an estimaton would suffice.
Thanks,

that doesn't seem right to me.mdvaldosta said:Also, the 4.10's will help keep you higher in the powerband for more power in every gear too.

First of all, as said above by stangboy017, the Mach 1 is a different "animal" in the sense it has a 32v motor, as opposed to the GT and Bullit setup, which uses a 16v motor setup. If you're wondering, will a set of 4.10 gears in a Bullit allow it to run with a Mach 1, the answer is yes IF you know how to drive the car.
4.10 and 4.30 gear ratios are great gear setups for n/a 2v GT's, especially the automatics. Have you ever stopped to look at what all the fastest n/a 2v guys are running in their setups ? They're running no less than 4.10 gears, and some are running as steep as 4.56 gears, depending on their setups.
Ask yourself another question. How many n/a bolt-on GT's are running 12's in the 1/4 mile with 3.73 gears ? None that I know of. How many are doing it with 4.10's and steeper gears ? The answer is quite a few.
I drive my car almost every day with 4.30 gears in the rear, and I have no issues, problems, or complaints with them. They're great for around town driving, and the highway rpms are manageable.
