What will these mods get me?

Only difference might be that you won't see the back end of civics that much anymore.

Gears are the great equalizer for these cars that is true but 4.11s are Chebby gears... eewww... You want 4.10s lol. Or 3.73s. The ricers never believe that a low-mid 200whp car can do a 12-13 second 1/4 mile because their shitboxes are making near the same numbers and barely doing a 15 lol.

your actually quite wrong gears ( ring gears and pinions ) arent make and model specific . I used to run 4:11 richmond gear in my 72 fastback 9' rearend . heres some food for thought and whoever told you that gears are make specific is a complete idiot lol .. http://www.summitracing.com/search/...and-pinion-gears/ring-and-pinion-ratio/4-11-1 theres a set for a 9' yeah and for the naysayers that will say we need 8.8 here lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Racing...pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item53fe845acd&vxp=mtr nuff said lol

 

[99GreenStang]

LOL I JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN !!!!! GEARS ARE NOT MAKE AND MODEL SPECIFIC AT ALL!!!! LMAO! anyone in this post that actually said that should never talk about people who drive civics ever again lol naw lol really keep talking about them cause civics suck lol .. wow when you think you have heard it all ...BAM! haha no pun intended well maybe a little ?

They're not make specific, but rear end specific. The Ford 9" has more options than a 8.8. The 8.8 does not have a 4:11 option.

 

[99GreenStang]

well rich if you would have viewed my post i posted a link there and it shows you a set of 4:11 gears for the 8.8 ford rear end so yes it does .

 

[99GreenStang]

it is not a typical "Ford" gear for the 8.8.....Typical ones are 2.73, 3.08, 3.27, 3.31, 3.55, 3.73, 4.10, 4.30, 4.55/4.56, and I believe 5.30s....I have also seen 3.88's in an 8.8 but it is not that common of a gear used in a Mustang.

I understand what your saying but the question was not if their typical , someone plainly said that they are Chevy gears basically saying here arent available for Ford and I was showing that they are indeed available and I personally have seen more people go with the 4:11 rather than the 4:10 . Im not trying to argue with anyone just so everyone knows just making sure there isnt someone being misinformed . thanks

I honestly don't know of anyone running a 4.11 in their Mustang.....4.10 being the normal gear.

I guess what you know of and what I know of are very different I can think of about 15 people down South here running a 4:11 gear in a mustang honestly. both are very good gears but thats not my point my point is you can get the 4:11 for the 8.8 which i proved ..

 

[99GreenStang]

by the way clean car you got . looks well kept

 

[Nightmare]

Thanks for the compliment. There is really no difference between a 4.11 and a 4.10. I think Yukon or Richmond makes the 4.11 gears, however most aftermarket places sell the 4.10 frpp set. tried to find some place of the big three (5.0 resto, am, and cj's) and I think cj's was the only one that had something like that for the 8.8....however I could be wrong.

I have a 94 5.0 that I've had since new. It was bone stock until last year. I added cold air, cat back and a tune and I can feel the difference. If you just want some fairly inexpensive gain, you'll like that. I've got an off road x sitting in the garage awaiting install, then I'm not doing anything else major to the drive train. Going to lower and cobra brake it this winter. Good luck on yours!

I got ya . I consider Richmond to be an aftermarket replacement idk about others but yeah point is they make em lol . enough about it lol . my knee is killing me torn meniscus ! hurts like a trick

 

[RichV]

You're correct there are more options available. Not sure why some have 10 ring gear bolts and some have 12. Probably for aftermarket carriers. But either way, thanks for the info.

Thanks jumbowolf. Was that so hard instead of thread hacking and making an argument over gears? Lol. Got a little off track there boys. That's whT I'm after Wolfe. How much was your tune and where did you get it done at?

 

[jumbowolfe]

First, I'm far from a mechanic, just an enthusiast. So anything I provide opinion wise is just from the vantage point of wanting more push out of a stock motor....

Actually had my cousins shop do the work, but its a bama chip/tune. I forget how much I paid for everything, but I would ball park around $1k because I went w magnaflow cat backs. I could have gone w a cheaper setup on the exhaust, but I like the magnaflow tone.

The chip has four settings, but really I keep it performance mode most of the time. Between the exhaust and the added horsepower w tune, you feel most of it in the seat, which is what counts for more over a number. With these stock SN 5.0s, that's about the best we can hope for outside of heads and a better intake manifold (as mentioned above). Most guys I talked to said shorty headers wouldn't buy me much more, so I skipped that.

Reqlly I'm just putting an xpipe on for better sounds, it probably won't buy me anything in HP. But, ill probably feel it in the seat.

Just enjoy it!

Hope that helps!

lol I've literally NEVER heard of someone in a late model Mustang running 4.11s, so if everyone you know runs 4.11s in their 8.8 rear end then you're in the vast minority.

Thanks again Wolfe. You've been helpful.
