Car is basically stock with a tune..5pd...3.73 or 4.10? Sunny day only car with only some hwy, mostly for cruising. Will 4.10 be too much?

Loved the 4:10's in my 2000 GT - 5sp - you will not regret it

I've always heard people with 4.10s say that first gear was pretty much useless. My choice would be the 3.73s.

4:10s NA were/are awesome on my 05 (also has 3650 trans)
If you were to do a lot of highway and wanted to drive above 120 drop down to the 3.73

I dunno if those people ever drove one. My Supercharged 2000 GT with 4.10s is fine. I personally wouldn't go less in a 2v. When I was N/A I was kicking myself for not going 4.30, except the 2-3 time I went on the highway a year.

I had installed 3.73 gears in my n/a 2000Gt 5-speed and was honestly a little underwhelmed on how little the difference was from my stock 3.27 gears. If staying n/a then I would definitely recommend a 4.10 gearset as 2v motors need gear to get up and go.

Difference between 373 & 410 is 100 RPM ! not worth dropping down !

Can't deny the fun factor of 410s, just makes 1st a lil short is all.

Had 4.10s in my Mach 1 and found them pretty much useless. My vote is with 3.73s.

I put 4.10 in my 02 gt and it was perfect. Yes 1st was short and I was shifting lots but that’s fun in a sunny day toy car.
Also a 2 valve with 4.10 you get to run through the gears make sweet noise and not get in to much trouble.
