Have 4:10 gears. Going to swap out. Should I go 3:73 or 3:27 stock? I am looking for better gas mileage. 4:10 where fun but a pain to drive, even in fl. wet weather.

 

3.73

 

What different with 3:73 than stock or my gain?

 

If your looking for mpg, 3.27, but 3.73 will be a good balance in between. You could also go 3.55 which would give you better mpg them the 3.73 but perform better then the 3.27s.

 

Buy a focus.

Funny thanks, I get many different views. On gearing. When I got the car it had 4:10 fun but from light to light runs.1st is no use, tires spin. Fun but wanting to end in 1st place. I have read that 4:10 with s/c is great for the drag strip but city street playing hard. I agree I need about to lights. Mostly for the 3 rd gear pull....full boost full throttle.

 

If you are looking for total gas mileage then the 3.27s. IMO I would do like 1999Pony stated and go with 3.55s, you'll get a better feel over the 3.27s better lower cruising rpms than the 3.73s ( it isn't huge but enough) it is a good middle gear.

 

BTW, It's a Bullitt, not a Bullett.

 

Lol thank u auto correct. But I should have double checked before hitting send .... **** u auto check.......

 

My brother has a SC Bullitt, his has 3.55s because he has a 2003 cobra IRS in it. Its a fun car and gets decent mpgs. You will probably get about 2mpg better with 3.55 than 4.10.

If you are interested in an IRS with 3.55 there are a lot of terminator owners that would prob go for a swap for your solid and 4.10. Best of all you can do it free of charge, just have to take the time to get together and do the swap.

 

Thanks, any idea where to start. I am in fl.

 

Probably SVT Performance. Ask around about a possible trade if you are thinking about an IRS swap.

 

Exactly, go to svt performance forum and ask if anyone local wants to swap.
