Thanks guys. Some very good... I mean GREAT information here to get me started. I don't want to void my warranty since I paid an extra 1300 or so for the 5year/75000mile ext. warranty. And I know Ford has to prove the part caused the issue, but I'd rather it just be a no brainer. Also I will have to pay for install out of the $grand I listed. I am somewhat flexible. I have more I can put in to it. But I'm in no huge rush either. I'm coming off a 4cyl 2.0 Plymouth Laser non turbo. So My stang has lot of power and torqe to me. Also I am never going to have this car at the tracks and If I do its going to be just for fun. I am into corners and turns more than the straight line. I like the mtns in my area too much My car is a daily driver too. So I am still a little worried about doing the gears simply do to the 62 Interstate miles I put on it going to and from work each day. So with those things in mind.... continue on You guys are such a huge help. Really!!!!!

PS. how much diff on gas mileage are say 3.75's going to make? How many more RMP's will I run at say 65mph? I run 1500 right now at 65.

I agree with blake get one of 2 short throw shifters steeda tri ax or the pro 5.0 I have the b&m and it sucks

as for gears I would not go with 3.73 it would not be worth the money IMO
I have 4.10s I get 24 mpg on the hwy and I went from 17 to 20 mpg city due to being able to use 5th at 35 (I dont drive like an ***** on the street very often)
