V6 rear end...3.73 or 4.10 ?
 
Hey all. I've been reading the posts on gears.
I didn't see an answer for my question, so here goes...

what is the stock ratio on the 2006 w auto tranny?

I have a '06 Pony ragtop w auto tranny. love the ride!!
I do find the pick up a little "lazy" so am contemplating the 3.73? or maybe 4.10? want to get a quicker 0-60 yo know?

Yes hiway run she will get currently 28-30 mpg (Canadian)...no biggie though as I'm not over concerned with that aspect. didn't exactly get a Mustang for the fuel economy LOL

also, I have TCS (traction control system) so do I still go for posi? T/L ?

I am looking at parts from Amercian Muscle (Motiv gears) as I've had some good results from their stuff and great customer service...in other words trust.

I already have a flash tuner so I'll be able to correct my speedo I think.

back in my youth I had a mopar Duster my altered rea-end and it was a rocket!

appreciate some input....thanks

3.73 - manual transmission
4.10 - automatic transmission

just my 2 cents

+1, what he said. Go 4.10s. A posi/T-Lok/LSD (whatever term you want to use) will be a good idea. The stock ratio is 3.31.

+2 on the 4.10 for the auto

Either the 3:73's or the 4:10's will be much better than the 3:31's you have in there now.

I went with the 4:10's and found my launch time much better (getting steady 1.9's on the strip at 60') so I would not go backwards to a 3:73 or a 3:55.

hell go 4.56 lol

Well the 4:56 requires a notched cross shaft so 4:30's would be much cheaper and easier to do. I have a set of 4:30's if you are interested.

seems to be a split decision here...

keep in mind we're talking auto tranny.
