3.73s are awesome. My Mustang is my daily driver and it has 3.73s in it. I don't see any problems.

Is it an auto or 5 speed? If it's a 5 speed then go with 3:55's

If you are n/a,
I would run 373's in a 5 speed and 410's in a aod. With a power adder 355's for the 5 speed and 373's for the aod. [Smile]

I agree, but only for fox body's. The newer and heavier stangs need at least 4.10's in my opinion.
