Gear help

[JE's00GT]

I have a 2000 GT with cold air, pro 5.0 shifter and am going for gears next. The gears are stock and I am trying to decide what to put in. I still need gas mileage but want to livin it up a little. what do you guys think? 3.73s or 4.10s? I know 4.10s would really give a good kick but would it sacrifice my mileage?

Your probably best with the 3.73s if mileage is a concern.

mileage is a concern but Do you know how much it would be affected by 4.10s? Will 3.73s be a noticible change?

What gears are in your car now?

3.08?

[JE's00GT]

I believe they are 3.27s. I am not 100% sure though.

3:73 is a nice street strip gear.

Take a look here and you can calculate what RPM you will tach at with various gear and tire ratios.

3.27 is the stock gearing on our gt's. I say go with 3.73's thats what Im about to put in my car

you could always go with 4.10s and a taller street tire, and a shorter track tire.

thanks. I appreciate your help.

+1 to fazm's comment, you could run a taller tire, but if you go F/I then I would probably go no higher than that
