Any and all replies are highly appreciated, thanks.

Oh, car is a '91 Notch 5spd if it matters.

I would go with the 3.73's. It would be perfect for your 5.0

I have 3:55s, it is good for me because I drive on the freeway alot. But as far as the track goes I wish i had 3:90's or 4:10s. 3:90s seems like a good, more aggressive ratio. Not a extreme as 4:10s. You never hear about many people using it either...

Go 3.73's NA, 3.55's if it's charged. 4.10's in a DD Fox or SN are a waste in my opinion.

3.90's were a marketing gimmick...and it worked. Less than 5% of the cars out there can even benefit from it.

I had 3:55's on my Fox and they were great. 4:10s are way too much for a mildly modified car.

3.73 on my daily driven hci not bad but....

I did not like the 4.10, when i would drop that bitch into 3rd going around 55mph that shit would redline almost immediately, then I went with some 3.73 but I think 3.55 would be a little better.

so my vote is for some 3.55

So now that you have the 3.73's what the difference when you drop it inot third at 55 MPH?

i have 3.73's with h/c/i and 5 speed. pulls hard, drives great on freeway. a lot easier to drive now with the gears rather than the 2.73's

after droping in 3rd w 3.73 you get to actually use that gear, not a whole lot before it wants to redlines, but still usable to pull on somebody hard on the freeway. I think the 3.55 would better suited for what I like to do

Deff go with 3.73's, i've had all different ratios, i like em the best, The number one question is what type of driving do you do? block to block street racing? go with a 410 back country corner carving 355 all around performance go with 373's, you will notice a huge seat of the pants differance, just make sure you have a reputable shop install them right! And only uy the fms gears through ford! They dont vibrate as much the tolerance is tighter. Also keep in mind it depends what wheel size you will be running? 15-20" is quite a differance in gear selection. In my opinion 355's are a waste of money...
