3.55 vs 3.73?? i was always having trouble between 3.73 and 4.10 im going with 3.73's i think it takes a special person to like 4.10's id rather stay on the safe side and just go with 3.73

Thanks
Ehhh....the correct way to approach this is hardly a "screw it, just do it" mentality. You need to put some more thought into choosing gears besides 3.73's for 5 spd or 4.10 for AODs. 3.55's are not a "waste of money" for a light foxbody. Steeper gears do not make your car faster. Adding power makes your car faster. The gears need to be matched to the powerband. There are plenty of 3.55 cars that will rip a 3.73 car in a race.jmuva44 said:I suggest nothing lower than 3.73s for any bolt on car. 3.55s are a waste of money. I went from 2.73 to 4.10 in my AODE 1995 GT. It made a WORLD of difference and gas mileage dropped very little. If you are thinking of getting gears and are either not going to do them or are going to do them conservatively because of gas mileage....dont even let that bother you. It doesnt drop much at all. Also if you are worried about traction then you shouldn't be driving a rear wheeled sports car with a V8. Same arguement can be said for the gas mileage.
I think the standard everyone goes by is how it should be:
5spd...........3.73 gears
AOD(E)/Vert..........4.10 gears
