95opal Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Just curious. When @95opal says "those are some tall gears for that trans" I got a little nervous.Your comparing the same trans with 2 different motors. You need to figure out your powerband before running it threw the calculator. If motor x tops out at 5k with motor B topping out at 7k you will have the same end result with your calculator but each motor will be at a different sweet spot in its intended powerband. May be ok for one but not the other. A stock 5.0 with 410s isn't gonna like the highway as much as a HCI 5.0 built to go 6500. Do you understand where Im coming from?

I guess in a couple years when I finally get the motor built I will figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted December 16, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 couple of years :banging:WTF!Did you think I was kidding when I said I was building it out of spare money lol?! Next year will probably be paint, then I can worry about the motor... Unless I find some deals in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 4.10s here. Awesome for the AutoX run. Horrible as for DD. Should go 3.73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member fiveohwblow Posted January 29, 2014 Supporting Member Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 4.10's unfortunately. I didnt choose them, they came with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 3.73. I was one of the idiots that didn't want to "over gear" my car. When the car was still N/A, I should have been running 4.30's.<br /><br />I'm leaving my 3.73's in with the new build, and gonna see where it puts me in the 1/4.<br /><br />I ain't scared about highway fuel mileage.

Blackmage Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I wish i would have went 4.30's. have 4.10's now. Fuck people who complain about gas mileage. I can still pull out 23-25 on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I've got 4.30s right meow (thanks @1997cobra!) And they're awesome. Put me exactly where I need to be in the 1/4 and are more fun than a barrel of monkeys on the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTwilight Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've got 4.10's in my '93 coupe.Still the factory 3.27's in the Cobra for now. But I've got an '03 IRS with 3.55's to go under it.I'm thinking of sticking with the 3.55's in the Cobra since VIR is only a 30 minute drive from my house and the '93 is already serving straight line duty.

MustangTed96GT Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've got a set of Ford Racing 3.73 gears waiting to go in next week. I've been told that it will wake the car up big time, especially with all the bolt on's I have. I wanted an great all around gear and though 4.10's would be overkill, especially if I plan to autocross it. Next up is the PI swap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 i wish i would have went 4.30's with my 2v motor. 4.10's just wern't enough.

RassCar Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'd like 3.73's for my GT but I don't think it's ever going to happen now that I have the Cobra. Not sure what I'll put in the Cobra. I'll have to drive it first to get a feel for it. As of right now I figure 3.73's for that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
