Re: Official Gear Thread
With what little I've experienced driving my recently blown car is that I can't imagine going any steeper than my 3.27s. But later I may consider 3.55 or 3.73s. Right now I get to redline really fast!!! :noes:

I don't have enough experience...
But I do know a guy that will do a fantastic job out near the outlets....
He does alot of work on my neighbors 1969 road runner (with a big block 440); his 1968 dart; and 40 something dodge coupe...
Only guy that is trustworthy and fair as far as I'm concerned

Re: Official Gear Thread
Ok i have a 94 auto vert. with a AODE do I have to get a chip so my tranny will shift right? I was told the AODE's dont work properly when 4.10's are in them.

no... only a new speedo gear... but a chip would make the tranny shift alot nicer along with many other things so it is a good idea

Ok i had a 2002 Gt and i put 4.10's in it... Damn i could tell a big diff.. Before it just spun but after the gear change it spun through 1st and let out one hell of a screech going to second.. I cant tell you how many people would ask if i had a 5 speed after running them..
But on to my ? i have a 94 Gt and its gonna be awhile before i have a power adder. I am going to get ateast 4.10's but would like 4.30's.. Which would be my better choice.. And when its all said and done i will have all bolts on'd.

Re: Official Gear Thread
4.10s max.
I think 3.90s would be the perfect gear for you.
Don't forget the speedcal.

Re: Official Gear Thread
im prolly gonna be getting gears installed in my car in the next few weeks....i was set on 4.10's, but after reading this thread, im kinda changing my mind.....Im gonna be going to a 5 speed soon....so...
Yes my GT is my daily driver.
i didnt buy the car for gas mileage :hammer:
it has never seen the track, ours closed a year ago.
i drive on the freeway alot...
so i guess with 4.10's at about 60-65 on the freeway, ill be at about 2400 RPM.....how would 3.90's be on my car?

Bumped an old thread cause dammit Im trying to learn :hammer:
Seems like it goes back and forth but sounds like it depends on whether or not the car is a quarter pounder or a daily driver.
Mine is my daily driver but I want to throw down at the track (both strip and raod course). More than likely I will be sticking with bolt-ons with nitrous. Very doubtful that boost will be on the car (would be nice though). Acceleration is a bigger factor to me than racing Supras on the freeway but I also dont want to spend gas money like the ex-wife spends my child support. Im not sure what my stock 95 GT comes with but Im thinking 3.73 is max what I want. Now is there anything else that is needed when buying the gears?
This is just a newb talking here so correct me if im wrong. :coolsmiley:

Speedcal is a must if you're doing new gears.
My speedo is fast by 25mph :crazy2:
If you're looking for a video of what the difference is in stock gears and 4.10's. Look this section for the thread.

About to go make the thread...
so for a 98 mustang gt, if I wanted to do gears what would I need as far as calibrating?
I don't want to do a little temp fix on anything. I want it done perfect, like it came from the factory with the gears.
so i guess i'm asking if a speedcal will work on my car? and could a sct xcal3 (or whatever it is) do the same thing with the same effect?
and how does a speedcal work and how would I use it to correct speed? and if i used a speedcal would I need to get a new gear or speedo gear for the speedo or anything?
