well it took me a week but i installed my 4.10's in auto shop which beats paying $500 or so for install. so i was wondering what i should do next. i have a 94 GT 5spd with gears, shifter,subframe connectors, headers, x-pipe,HD clutch, flowmasters, tunable inductions CAI,traction-loc rebiuld with f150 posi-spring. I was thinking lower control arms to help with the added torque from the new gears(i went from 2.73's to 4.10's!!!).let me know what you think.

I just did control arms on my car, they made a difference but the bigger difference was the aluminum driveline...its a must with lower gears I think.

what lower control arms did you go with and have you boxed or replaced your uppers yet?

I bought the uppers and lowers, they are tubular made by Granatelli Motorsports.

If you do an intake you might as well do a cam.

how about a set of drag radials for traction. Save your money and put a set of aluminum heads on that thing you have all the other stuff already. It will rip

how about a 5 lug conversion and a big brake kit. Easy, cheap-ish and you'll thank yourself later.

this is a good question since i want to do something to my 95. I have to redo the front and rear sels on the engine so i am going to do a new timing chain and a cam. Maybe i'll do an intake also...
