[QUOTE="TRMNTR, post: 9724036, member: 90420"] 3.73s were one of the first things we did with 5.0 cars back in the day. I was surprised to see that not many change the gears in the Terminators. I don't know about you but I don't need to be able to go 40+mph in 1st gear. Even with the 5spd, 5.0 car, there was really no downside to doing it. Gas mileage even improved sometimes because the car didn't work as hard to get moving. Not that I really care about gas mileage. When the 32valve Cobras came out in '96 4.10 was the recommended gear for those cars. With our car, 3.73s would certainly be an improvement, but not huge. I don't think you would see any downside to having them. You could probably do ok with 4.10s but T-bone's info from the engineers would make me leery of doing that. 3.90s are probably perfect for our cars, but only one company makes them and I have heard that they're noisy. I might do it someday, probably either 3.73s or 3.90s.:rockon: [/QUOTE]
