Guest hotrodmama024 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I am needing some help on the best set up for my rear end. I am going though rear def gaskets like crazy. I also know when i bought my Camaro they doubled the gasket before then sold it to me. There isnt as many medal shavings this time around, but i obviously need to put better gears in and maybe new girdle. I am thinking that i wont be adding to many more mods other then the headers, and a new clutch. Help please... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 373 is my favorite gear for a street car thats driven daily had a 5.0 vert with 410s first gear was pointless, no traction and you were shifting in no time, but thats just my opinion both cars were 5 speed if its an auto car i would go 410 prob.

smokin5s Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 4.10 if you have a 6 speed... you will still be at around 2k at 70 in 6th gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Do you like it on your set up? The 373s that im talking about arent in yet but I have had other mustangs with 373s in them and it was great not high rpm reallly on freeway but great all around huge upgrade on the cars in the past i love it and would reccomend them all day long.

MrMeanGreen Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 You Mustang retards don't even bother responding with your five-speeds. "Go 3.73, blah blah blah, yadda, yadda, yadda." Like going from factory 3.42s to aftermarket 3.73s would help a whole helluva lot 4.10s for the T-56-equipped F-Body. Moving to tech only because you don't know any better, Leilani. Freebie. Eric, they don't make 3.90s for our cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Go 2.90's so thorne has a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 4.10 or higher with the 6 speed and if you go higher, get a taller tire. more sidewall = more hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have a 10". Doesn't everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I would not put a dime into the stock 10 bolt. Don't listen to Ant and his I have xxx passes in my 500+ hp car on a "built" 10 bolt. He made a deal with Satan which is why it is still alive. Unless you have to replace the gears in there I would put the money away for a real rear end.

Four years, 50+ passes on 1.6x 60' and 500+rwhp later on a beefed up 10-bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
