[QUOTE="Cobra Jet, post: 16700233, member: 127353"] 4.30 is the perfect mannered gear for a N/A daily driven DOHC... Since you already have 4.56's from a value standpoint, I don't think it's worth going down to 4.30's, it's still going to be "beast like" in all gears if backed against the factory T45 transmission's gear set. Heck when I had my prior 96 Cobra years ago, it was easy enough to smoke the tires flat out through 3rd gear into 4th with the 4.30's, BUT they were a great driving gear AND my MPG also improved over the factory crap gears Ford put into the DOHC... IMO, the labor+parts R&R just wouldn't be worth it to go from a 4.56 down to 4.30. What you may experience by going from 4.56's down to 4.10's would be boredom, as the beast-like feeling will be gone and you will feel as if the car is lugging along. The DOHC needs higher ratio gears to give it that "torque factor" off the line due to the fact it can rev out to 7500RPMs. [/QUOTE]
