3.23 in to a C4 on a Turbo Setup
modulars need to turn some rpm's, obviously there are a lot of different variables between combinations and usage (mostly track, a lot of highway, etc.) but a basic rule of thumb for best performance would be..
(For N/A applications)
2V- 4.10 minimum
3V- 4.10 minimum
4V- 4.30 minimum
(basic bolt-on power adders are a lot different but still relative)
2V- 3.55 or 3.73
3V- 3.55, 3.73, or 3.90
4V- 3.73, 3.90

I think a 3.73 is a good all around gear

I run 4.10 in my 06 with MT. I highly recommend them.

What kind of mileage will you see with 4.10's? I drive on the interstate about 25 miles everyday, I don't want my mileage to hit the floor. I have heard that with 3.73's the mileage is similar to stock?
I run 430's in my 02 GT 5 spd. It's a lot of fun, but I am getting close to running out of gear at the track. 70mph=2500rpm. between 16 and 20 mpg.....usually 16
the ONLY reason anyones gas mileage worsens more than a MPG or two, is because they no longer find it easy to keep their foot out of the throttle.

Love the Avatar Rustang, so, realistically, I'm getting around 23-24 mpg, mixed driving. I should get better than 20 mixed with 4.10's?
Mark,
4.10's would be the perfect gear for your car. That's what's in mine in preparation for the Whipple. Otherwise it would have been 4.30's.
Ken
4.56's for a N/A 4V.
Who said that I lay out of the throttle? LOL!If you can lay out of the throttle as much as you do now, you should have no problem keeping it over 20+
But thanks for the knowledge. I think I will go 4.10's then. Anyone have any reserve about buying used gears?

Go with the 4.10s. You will be very pleased with them. Listen to the guys above.
