The only reason for the 3.73's IF I even gear it, is because I dont want such high rpm's on the freeway... and since I dont race, I have to find a happy medium, thats all

I tell ya what... if this car wasnt my primary get around.. I'd go straight to 4.30's!! I agree with all of you on the gearing totally.

Realize this... everyone (including you explicit) who says to go with 4.10's or 4.30's spends their weekends at the track
I dont, so there is always a but or if factor involved... lol
I'm not as extreem as some of you, infact I am happy with the stock gearing.. ha!

Yes I know the valve springs are a must. And yes I know the cost. But as far as installation... my bro and I will be doing the install. (He has done the cams on his mod, along with many other motors.. he works at Ford, in service) I've rebuilt a 302 and a 351.. so I have enough basic know how Hopefully!

Plus.. cams aren't that hard of an install, now that they're up top We'll do it in a weekend, hopefully!
but then again.. you might see me posting how to's on here when it comes time to do the install... lol

yes and no the cams are harder to time then the 5.0 and valve spring removal is a pain with the heads on the car
plus with most cams on the mod motor it needs to be tuned just idle

and if your bro know so much about mustangs why are you asking us for simple info and why did he tell you they have 265rwhp?

dont get me wrong its your car and you must do what you want and will make you happy I just know from exp. that alot people that listen to ads and magazines are not happy when done and spend 2xs they money on the same stuff
like gears the 3.73 was great for a 5.0 but they suck for 99+ mod motor even if i was not a drag racer I would still go with 4.10s just cause of the fun factor on the street. IMO

i had my 00GT for 6 months before putting in my 4.10 and I only went to the track with this car 1 time in that 6 months cause I had a 87lx that I raced so as you can see the 00 was my street car at the time and I would have been kicking myself if I went with 3.73s
but I sold the 5.0 to help fund the 00 cause of how its

yes I have a few hard core race parts on my car that poeple think are not streetable but I can have just as much fun on the street and I can take a road trip across the country if i wanted and it not be a problem

what i am and others are doing is just trying to help you from spending money on something most people would not like
