It's a question about rear gears?

3.73s if you want to keep stock tires, 4.10s if you want to go bigger on tires in the future

What about the 3.90s any advantage over the 3.73s? And when I do a gear change I heard something about reprogramming because I'll hit the rev limited before it shifts

I can't comment on the tranny thing. For an 8.8 rear, the only 3.90s are made by a company named Motive and apparently they whine in Mustangs, which I believe also have the 8.8 rear. FRPP makes 3.73s and 4.10s

Ok well that illiminates 3.90s so most likely I'll get 3.73 and it might not have been a 3.90 might have been 3.89 I don't remember but thanks for the help and if anybody know about the rev limiter I would appreciate that

I just double checked and Richmond makes the 3.89 sorry about that

Just something to keep in mind, the 3.90 comment I made is strictly from Mustang knowledge.

Yep I understand I just figured since it's so heavy 3.89/3.90s would keep me quicker than all the 3.55 trucks rolling around
