Well im getting a howl and going to replace gears and bearings. I have 3:73's right now should i upgrade to 4:10's? car is going to stay n/a for a while...

going to do p.i swap, with camshafts, long tubes. Then later on maybe a 75 shot??? what do you guys think?

oh yeah weres the cheapest place to buy gears?

Unless it's severely been beat on, it's not the bearings. It's the install.
I believe buyfordracing.com has the gears for $130. Go 4.10's!

go with 4.10's i have 3.73 on my 00 gt and i want 4.10 cause modular engines perform better at higher rpm and 4.10 will get u there quicker than 3.73.

i have 410s and now want 373s.. [Frown]

I think im going with the 4.10's because my 3:73's are cool but i want some more gear with my suspension because it hooks good right now so i dont think 4.10 will hurt?

I have 410 but will change to 355.Too much gear for a supercharged car.

Albert go with 373s on the Saleen..remember it is still a modular car..373s should put you in the right spot after shifting in that 96 saleen.

i have 3.73's and i'm thinking of dropping down to a 3.55 or 3.27's again. i want the freeway pull with my supercharger, and not have to worry about all the shifting

Glen, did you sell your 97? Modular eats the rpm quick.

i actually traded it in for the 2000..

no one was wanting the 97...it was going for $6500 and no one wanted it..and you know how much work i put into it..and you know how nice it was..

yea modular does eat the rpms quick...especially if youre s/c'd so im guessin a 3.55 would be good. thats whats in the 5.0 right? how is the saleen by the way? running better? tino keeps callin me to go to the track but i work night on weekdays [Frown] but i will eventually take a wednesday off..well off to work now..

well not sure yet... im thinking of staying with the 3:73's because of the p.i swap with stage 2 cams, and longtubes, with a small shot of n20??

I swear to god if you don't get 4.10's you will kick your own ass. =)

I'm thinking about getting the gears soon, how much am I looking at for the 4.10s and where can I get them installed in the East Bay. Thanks in advance.
