hey i was wondering if anyone had experience with both gears or either one. i have a 2001 gt and was wondering how much more power do you get off the line between the two and how much is the difference in driveability? i drive alot on the freeway. reply with some posts so i can decide. Also if anyone has a friend selling some used gears that would be awesome.

My vote is for 4.10s. Thats what I'll be putting in my car. You will be running 3000rpm at 80mph. I think Justin knocked off 4/5tenths when he put 4.10s in his 01.

If you don't speed on the freeway, i.e. over 70 then 4.10's should be fine, but if you ever cruise at 80 or more than you shouldn't go with the 4.10's, 3.73's would work well then.

You can do it one of two ways:
1) Get the 3.73's and then wish you had gone with 4.10's or...
2) Get the 4.10's to start with and be happy

Just my two cents

well its been decided im goin to get 373's. now before u all yell at me for being a pussy and not doing 4 10's im doin it cause i like to mob on the freeway, like 90 always at minmum 80, and i dont think i could get myself to slow down on the freeway. its torture trying to keep it under 90. thanks everyone

I'd say 3:73's. I had them, and I loved them. If you ever add NOS or a S/C then you will be better off.

difference in rpms at 80 mph between 3.73s and 4.10s is about 200 rpms.
"mobbing" on the freeway at 140 should be easier in 3.73s, mob away

what about gas mileage, how much do those differ by. i usually get around 275 to a tank with my 327's, what would i see with 373's and 410's? And how bad do the gears affect top speed?

Be a Man.....get 4:10's if you wanted good gas milage.....you prolly would have thought this through and gotten a honda civic. But you got a stang so it can be fast.....get 4:10's

I'm going through this same exact debate in my head right now too.. Right now, with stock gears on my '00, I'm running high 13's... Can anyone tell me what they think I might run with 3.73's & 4.10's???

e-dogg: Hey man, what's up with your gears? I am interested.. Check your email.

You'd prolly drop a few tenths if ur lucky. Some gears might keep ur time the same or u might even be slower. Who knows. You'll jus have to go to the track and see.

My friend went from a 13.7 to a 13.5 in a 98 cobra, so like I said you'll see
I'm also thinkin bout the same thing

275!!!
I usually get around 210-240 and i baby it *most* of the time. Do you drive the freeway alot???

Top speed can more likely be reached with a steeper gear ratio. With stock 327's my cobra could do(if it had that kinda power)230mph...Even with 373's it'll do over 200mph(only because I get extra 1000rpm's over you).
