I actually still have the stock rear gears - for a while I was having to commute 100 miles each way a couple times a week for work so I never changed them. I will be putting some 3.73s in soon - I'm getting a blower and don't want to have to put it in 5th to finish the 1/4. Newer stick shift GTs I've seen with 4.10s rev
slightly over 3K frat eeway speeds.

I turn 2950 rpm's with 4.10 gears..also, unless you plan running faster than 131 mph in the 1/4 you will still be in 4th gearBesides with 4.1 gears your 5th gear will now pull like your 4th gear used to...figure on loosing 3 miles lper gallon on the fwy.....by the way my speed at 2950 rpm's is 75 mph.
