Ok I know I may ask alot of dumn questions but, I need help installing a Cobra insert. I got it from a friend and he lost the instructions and I wanted to know what would be the best gears for a auto foxbody (3.73, 4.10 ) really don't know I am starting to fix this stang up a little. So i'm not really sure what to put in it.

I like 3.73's you dont really need anything higher than that if your going to do a lot of street driving.

I have 373 in My auto and they have been a good all around gear from basically stock to HCI & charged. If You aer'nt planning on adding a power adder down the line 4:10's might be a good choice.

PERSONALLY FOR AN AUTO- IF YOU REALLY WANT IT TO PULL HARD AND STEADY IT WILL BE BEST TO GO WITH 4:10 GEARS- EVERY FOXBODY AUTO THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS HAD THEM- GO FOR THE 4:10 BRO-

I was told that 4.10 gears was the best to go with by friends but they also said that if I was planning on driving along ways that it would burn my trans or rear end up !!!!!

If your stuck between 3.55's and 3.73's then go 3.73's. If your stuck between 3.73's and 4.10's then go 4.10's and so on.

JohnB put 3.73's in my old auto 94gt... I really liked them. Made a big difference to the butt-o-meter!
I ended up putting a vortech on my 94gt and I was glad that I had 3.73's installed.
