Are you using this car as a daily driver? or going wild at the dragstrip?
3.73 's are a good choice for all around performance , they pick up quick and still can drive hiway with them, 4.10's would be good if your car is only going to be driven occasionally on hiway , and would reduce your gas milage.

3.73's in a 4.6L stang is :roll2: ,i know,i had them,it just didn't feel any different then having the stock gears.Then i spent more money again,and went with the 4.10's,and now i am very pleased.Gas mileage difference between 3.73's,and 4.10's,not very big if at all,the engine isn't working as hard to get moving.I drove to Sudbury from London which is close to 600 k's,and spent 50 bucks doing 125 k's and reving roughly 2600/2800 rpm.And i got some gas robbing mods like VT stage II cams,aftermarket exhaust,ects,and a custome tune that is not for gas mileage purpose,and like stated 4.10's.Not bad if you ask me.Now if it were a 5.0L,then i would most deffinatly go 3.73's. :5:
But like i said,it's your ride. :thum:
Just wouldn't want to see someone else spend extra like i did,when you can do it right the first time. :thumb1:
And one more thing,if you plan on supercharcing down the road,then go 3.73's!!LOL!!

a big heavey beast like the new ones need the 4.10s, and need them to get to where they MAKE power faster, not to mention the improved around town mileage.

4.10's or 4.30' in a 4.6L

3.73 in a 5.0L

Did the 3.73 in the 4.6L and it sucked ***!!!
