I have an 88 Mustang with auto transmission and I was wondering what gears would be better for my car.transmission was rebuilt 3000 miles ago and car is a stock daily driver with minor boltons.

4.10's

--------------------
Hi, my name is Jimmy Herrera aka 91Trunkster (510)375-1589 and I got snitched out by my friend or friends. Ain't that a bitch, some one or some people would rat out my fake account here to keep their own secret fake account? If you all forgot, I'm an old ass 30 something year old "man" that likes to make internet friends with boys fresh out of highschool. I like to post "bruh" a lot just like the annoying immature and ghetto CAFords kids do. I like to talk shit about this website, make it look bad, all the while trying to make and save money off of other members here. Some may call me a selfish immature bitch. Deep down I know they are correct, it's not like I have anything else going on in my life or anything but negativity to offer this community. This is a free site. Suckers spend good time and money to keep this website going. They're suckers for doing so, so fuck them, I'm going to take them for all they got. It's all about me in this world.

Who is the next troll or just plain annoying post whore to get the boot???

With 4.10's @ around 70 mph you should be @ 2 thousand rpm's , maybe a little higher . but yea they'd be a great addition

Possibly looking to add a vortech v1 in the future so should I go with 3.73 instead?

nah , 4.10's are fine dude . I think your car would benifit most even with a blower from the 4.10's . although you may consider a beefier input shaft , torque converter and valvebody for your tanny for even better performance and firmer shifts once you install the V-1.

if you are going to stay stock heads, intake, and cam with the blower the 4.10 will be ok, but if not I would do 3.73.
