But I also thought about switching either to the 3.73 or 4.10 also but to tell the truth I seen alot of 9 and 10 sec cars using the 3.31 so I think I am going to stay where I am

3.31 is youre slappin a blower on, the boost will makea huge difference and itll be easier to keep under control. Boosted coyote motors are a whole new breed of animal, considering they make more power than a gt500 with equivalent boost

Hey there very nice car i'm swapping gears this weekend i have 2011 with 3.31 car has ran best time of 12.48 At 113mph i know that no matter what gear i goto over 3.73 i'm going to have to use 5th gear so i am going with 4.30 to see how it runs looking for 1.6 60 ft times with drag radials right now my best 60ft has been 1.84 once i got car to hook ut would bogg badly these 5.0l do not seem to like low rpms
i'll get results at track in a week or so and will let every one know how it works out also i'm running a 27 inch tire
