4.10s for a 5.0 is perfectly fine.. you should be crossing the lines close to your redline in 4th. but most stockish 5.0's make more power in the middle, unlike the modulars so 3.73's are probably a pretty good choice for them

if you were gna modify the 5.0 to have it make power higher in the rpm band, then you will want to go higher, probably 4.10's +

4:10's with a 5.0 may be to much gear. You don't want to run out of motor at the big end. Not only that but if your car is a DD your milage will take a big hit, and your engine will be working harder than necesary on the highway.

5.0=3:73's IMO

Depends on your transmission and your tire size. Saying X.XX gear is to much for a 5.0 is a blank statement

my bad i didn't mean 2000. i meant 3000 @ 75. and our tach are not the most accurate on the planet either. so it's possible to have a couple hundred variance from 1 car to another.
