Just got my first pony

Oh, I thought 95 said that I made a FAQ.

Anyway...

I've never messed around with tuning a car before, mainly beacause I've never owned a car worth messing with.
So I still need some help, if you got the time:

When you say 3.73 gears, does that ratio refer to a gear in the differential? Or somthing in the gearbox?

The FAQ mentioned somthing about not choosing this ratio if you don't plan on making any engine mods. At the moment I don't. Is this still a good idea?

Also, what is the ratio for a stock GT?

I am really interested in doing this, because right now, it really doesnt seem to launch much better than my moms saturn. I mean, it sounds a heck of a lot better, but I don't feel that much more of a kick.

Could there be somthing wrong with it? It sounds great and seems to run smooth, but since this my first mustang, I cant compare with anything.

Should I get it timed at the local drag?

Thanks again for any and all help,

xto
