Okay I'ma trying to figure out what to install next on my car.. Either 3.73 Gears and an short throw OR.. The Boss Intake.... I got 3.31s in it right now and I sometime miss gears so thinking the gear and short throw is the way to go but I need y'all opinion?

 

Are those your only 3 options?? I would say a tune and cold air personaly. But I do hear that gears make a huge difference.

 

I already have an intake, tune and exhaust, I'ma leaning toward the gears my self

 

In that case yeah. My vote are gears. The intake doesn't do much unless You have cams etc. From What IV heard. But on the flip side, everyone on This site loves the Barton short shift...

 

Yea I was either leaning toward that one or the steeda one

 

Might want to wait for the MGW shifter...i had one on my 2006 and will likely get one for my 2012...it's a top notch piece of machine work!

 

Its all up to you in the end!

 

Do u know when that the MGW will come out bc I havent heard anything when that would be

 

regarding the MGW, I only know it's in the works....based on posts by the guy who runs it.

 

I would get the Barton piece and gears. Then a flux capacitor.

 

Gears do make a world of difference in our cars. Gears are - by definition - a torque multiplier, so who wouldn't want more torque? 3.73 - 4.30 ratios are the most commonly used in S197 Mustangs for performace.

 

That BOSS 302 R intake manifold can give you some sweet gains with your current mods though... Plus it looks pretty bad *** when you pop hood. All you need is a few parts to make the switch, install is very simple, retune accordingly, and boom.

 

The boss intake is only gonna give u more power way up in the rpm range. The gears will give u better seat of the pants feel all the time.

 

True... You've definitely sold me on that Barton shifter, thats for sure.

 

Don't listen to those people for any advice.

This! The only issue with the Boss Manifold for this guy, is that he's looking for low end torque, and this manifold will actually take away from that.

In short, his powerband will completely shift to the higher rpms. You will lose most of your low end grunt, but will gain it all up top and then some.

^ He gets it.



For you, I'd throw in a set of 4.10's right now. Then you'll need to work on your suspension to hook.

 

Yea ima going for the Short Throw and gears for right now and than the boss!!! lol gotta make an phone to the ford house to get an price on some 3.73 and install so I wont loss my warranty

 

From your list, gears would be my choice.

 

Gears are nice but a flux capacitor would be the way to go

 

Even if you have a Ford dealer install the 3.73's, you'll have no factory warranty on your rear end any longer. The parts themselves typically have a 12 mos / 12K mile warranty, but that doesn't cover labor. The factory warranty on the rest of your car will still be intact, however.

I've swapped gears in most every Mustang I've owned, and the 8.8" rear end is super tough, so don't worry about warranty. Get the gears (4.10's FTW) - you'll thank us later!

Once you hit 88mph, you'll see some serious ****.
