Seeing that you have an '01 Cobra,nothing less then a 4.10 for sure.
I often wonder why 3.90's were created in the first place when gear topics come up."It's almost a 4.10,but almost a 3.73".....
Don't get me wrong,and i'm not trying to sound like an ***.
Since i've been there like most accross north america that have had different gears with the "Modular" motor.Anything under the 4.10 is a waste.The modular engine needs gear since it is a reving motor,and makes crap for torque down low.
I can understand if someones 4.6 is equipped with a blower,or some sort of power adder,and wants 3.73's to keep traction issues to a minimum,but N/A,the 4.6 needs gear.
I will tell you this.My 4.10 equipped 4.6 GT is tamer then a 5.0 with 3.73's,what i mean is that a 5.0 with 3.73's is still torquier.
Many of us accross north american have wasted our hard earned money on 3.73's or anything lower then 4.10's,plus install,and wished we had gone to 4.10's or higher,and wished we listened to those that have "told us " LOL!
I know next year i might be planning to go 4.30's.Since my GT is cammed,with a ported Bullitt intake,she has more room for more gear.And from my research on "Modular Mustang" pecific web boards,lots of guys with full bolt on modular stangs are happy they made the jump to those babies LOL!:biggrin:
Not bad,my GT has had the 3.27,then 3.73,now 4.10's,and next year 4.30's.It's an addiction LMAO!!

I totally understand where you are coming from.With the Ford modular,you need to unlearn everything you have learned in the past to relearn the new technology today like the modular Ford small block.They both opperate in different rpms when it comes to hp,and torque.
Just last night,my buddy,and i were out cruisin',we both have 4.10's,but his is a 5.0,he was in 4th at 1500 rpm roughly doing the speed limit,and i was in 3rd at 1500 rpm beside him.
Just goes to show the difference.
And no prob's.I'm sure you will enjoy.Next year i'm bumping my GT's rear diff to 4.30's for sure.

32mpg? I don't think that is accurate. I have a few friends from canada and they always seem to figure out the MPG the wrong way. All of there cars are super good on gas. I have a buddy with a corolla who thinks he does 50mpg. Corollas don't get 50. I don't think your GT gets 32 either. If so, I want one of those.

But I know how to calculate my MPG
Crusing at 100km/hr reving at 1500RMP or so with stock gears on the open road
Oh sorry, the last time I calculated it it was 31.8, not 32, so your right!
I have been keeping track of my gas data since I started driving

Your in Maine or so your profile states
So one imperial gallon is exactly 4.54609 litres, whereas one U.S. gallon is exactly 3.7854118 liters.
You would also calculate it different
