4:10 gear question

[mustangbangher]

I was thinking about getting 4:10 gears for my 2000 mustang gt turboed pushing 8 pounds of boost? Do you think this would help or hurt me? all opinons welcome

I would think on a boosted car thats a bit much gear... most guys run 3:55 or 3:73 depends on tranny's ect

X2... 4:10s on boost will have you spinning alot on any street tires or even radials. My vote would be for 3:73s and a pair of at least P275 radials on the back to go with it.

Ok thank's for the info? I was thinking that also but the car holds to the ground pretty good for some reason. lol Im not complaining. But that big of a jump in the gear's would also kill my mpg. I get 12mpg now so......

12 MPG!?! What exactally is done to your car? and do you drive it hard alot?

[mustangjon]

I get like 15mph going to work and back... but its um "spirited driving" lol interstate on cruise i get good mph, but i figure when i do actually get the car out hell with it im beatin her

12 mpg? did you swap to a big block? there's no reason a properly tuned fuel injected turbo'd car should get that kinda mileage. my blower car with 4.10's gets at least 18-20 mpg. i would do 3.55's or 3.73's. turbo cars like a higher gear ratio (numerically lower) due to load.

No tune yet. that's probably most of it... Went today to get it tuned and had the blow off valve after the pmas and had to move it before so Im getting it tuned tomorrow at modular depot. but there is not to many mods just turbo
