4.10's are a great gear for a N/A GT motor. FI mustangs go with a 3.73. The guys running mid 12's N/A are running 4.30 gears.




Thanks for the props.

4.10s are great for the N/A 99+ GT motor, huh? I would have never expected it. Years ago my college roommate had a red 90 LX 5.0 notchback with 3.73s, mufflers, UDPs, intake baffles removed, and advanced timing. To me, the car felt overgeared. It was stout as hell to 70mph, but it lost a lot steam after that. I always felt the motor was flying through it's powerband too quickly. The car did run low low 14s@97mph though. That is currently owned by some younger guy around Kansas City now. It has a cowl hood and Weld Drag Lites. It's pretty sweet.

BTW, my friend that use to own that 5.0 refuses to believe my Maxima is actually faster thru the 1/4 mile than his Stang. I told him prepare to be disappointed because the Maxipad just might exceed his best ET too
