Welcome to the site. Glad to see another NorCal person register.
If it was mine I'd do 4.10's.

I agree...do the 4.10s...
4.10s in a Daily driver , its only a 2 cam though not a 4 cam like you drive , the redline is only 6100 yours is like 7000 , 4,10s sound like too much to deal with everyday,, Another Question
I heard yesterday there is a valvetrain problem on both the 4 cam and the 2 cam modular Engines , Do you have any valvetrain noise on your right cylinder head , i do ,
so far Per a Cobra owner i know this is a Recall for those engines affected, the whole cylinder head on the right side of the engine is replaced, i cant ask the Technition i know about it at Lithia Ford Concord , until Monday , to see if the camshaft follower on my 4,6 2 cam is covered on the same recall,
When i let it sit all nite and leave for work the next day and start it the first time that day, there is a loud Valvetrain noise from the right cylinder head, From about two or three cam folowers , and Hydrualic lifters ,the sound is there just a few seconds , until the Oil Presure guage reads the normal position on the guage ,, all fluids are at the correct level per specifacation,

3:55s and 3.73s both suck, you'll be dissappointed if you install either.
4.10s for a daily driver, 4.30s for a weekend car.
4.10s are the perfect daily driver gear for a 2V. You'll still see good gas mileage long as you keep your foot out of it. ;-)
I put 4.10's in mine. It is a daily driver, but I do not drive it on the interstate much. I have no complaints about the 4.10's. You will be happy with them, unless you do alot of interstate driving. I tach up around 2700 RPM's at 70 mph
