it was not really that bad it just killed my gas mileage. My buddy put 3.90 in his and did not affect his as much but with your trans you should be ok.
i dont hang out with mustang owners. only 2 are Sicstang and WHAT_LAG both have Silver Cobras. lol. mustang owners are typically dìckheads.Quote:

i was SUPPOSED to be making right at 400 last time but the tuner suked balls and my motor blew up (again). So, this time around...I SHOULD be above 400 but remember, my car isnt a miata..i weigh 3600lbsQuote:

I hate u redrum. lolol. runs and cries cus my head hurts
how close is your trans to the new edge gts? my friend with the 4.10s we make the trip from school here in statesboro to atl (about 31/2-4hrs) every other weekend and the gas mileage is not that bad. ill ride with him today and see what his rpm is around 70ish. lol get a 6spd and convert it to fit :P
Man up and put the 4.10s in it
^fukkin peer pressure.

Nice low RPMs on the freeway and the same ET's you'd be getting with a 410 rear end and your current tranny. I've never looked into what it'd take to swap a mustang gear out, but it can't be that difficult in comparison to stroking/boring engines, FI, etc. Now, I dunno if you usually do 1/8ths or 1/4ths with the stang, and that kinda makes a difference. I also don't know whether or not you'd reasonably be able to only use 1 to 4 on the 1320 with the new rear end. I have not thoroughly researched this, but it's an idea that literally gives you the best of both worlds. If your 5th is just a mild overdrive (like 0.90 then maybe go with the GT's 6th gear cog if it fits (It may not, I dunno) Which would probably be a 0.85 or 0.80). Guys who do a (I know, I'm talking about Hondas, but the same idea applies) GSR motor in Civics often have to struggle with what tranny to use (B16 Tranny or the GSR Tranny or an LS Tranny) for the exact same reasons you're debating now. This kind of compromise has worked for them, and push comes to shove, if you wanted to do it and couldn't find a replacement, you might be able to have a machineshop actually make you one that fits as a replacement.
Just a thought.
And yeah, I know you said RWD guys only, but hey...I drive with the rear wheels too! :ninja:
*hides his transaxle and front driveshafts*
Ive done plenty of drag passes but Im not maxing out or coming near maxing out 4th gear crossing the line. And my tranny is the v6 tranny. They dont make any parts for mine. :(
but i appreciate the help and info. +8
i just noticed this thread i should be able to help you, 3.90 would not be to much gear for you, ive been running 3.90 in my car for about 5000 moiles and i love them except they would be much better at your pwr level than mine. you can still go 120 in 4th gear and i can cruise at 75 at 2800rpms and get 23mpg. so saying there not streetable would be wrong i drive 300miles a week with them. you will barely even notice the diff if you go to a 3.73. by the way trymy, check your pms
o n if you see me out i would be more than happy to take you for a ride so you can see the diff and shiftpoints of the 3.90>3.55:goodjob:
appreciate the help mang. PM'd u back.
