Im trying to get into road racing and autoX, i have a 98' Mustang GT (full bolt on with 300 rwhp) with Griggs Racing coil over setup on all four corners. My question is what gears are recomended or what gears are most people runing? thanks

really depends on the type of tracks and where your power band is, I liked 3.55's on my 5.0 that rev'd to about 6500, though I settled on 3.73's to get some more punch out of corners.

Since you got the 2 valve vs. the 4 valve Cobra I'd go with 373's too. Good luck with your car and 300 at the wheels on a 98 gt is real good.
