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
