3.73 ftw, you want to keep it in 3rd gear through the traps...

My buddy runs 4.10's in his 96 GT Saleen replica with a 10lb blower and a T56 swap....and they dont rev nearly as well at Cobras as well all know....i would keep the 4.10's
4.10 here, they work perfect at the track with a 28" tire.

THANX all, guess I'll be putting the 4.10's back in. Anyone need a BRAND NEW set of Ford Motorsport 3.73s
just remember you want ot be in 1:1 crossign traps nothign higher or lower!!!
true thing to do is match your peak power [rpm] with what gear will put you at with the right mph
since when do you want to be in 3rd with any manual? always want to be 1:1 ratio
When your piloting a Stock 86 GT with 2.73 cogs with a 26" tall tire. ;)
2011 Mustang GT, MT-82, 3.73's :
BONE STOCK 12.223@115.18
in that case you got a point. i know a buddy had a s10 with a t56 adn 273. he shifted once lol
don't know about you, but i want to shift no more than 2 times, the more you shift the more time you waste, you need to be at max rpm when trapping. and with a 28" tire then 4:10s might be good, but i usually use 26" tires on a fox so i like the 3:73s.
