yeah that seems high. get 4:10's you won't regret it.
Not the same 6 speed you have. I have 3.73's in mine, and wouldnt want to go higher. I already chirp 4th, and cant expect traction till 3rd.
Yikes... You can get a new Ford Racing 3.73 for $150 shipped. Gear oil maybe $25 at a local store. So $400 or so for labor that shouldn't take a shop a couple hours?
This a shop or a dealer?
Idk w that low 1st gear etc. I'd think 3.55's over esp. w a power adder. Could be revving quite hi w say 26" tall tires and 3.73's. I myself shift into 4th 1/1 on my 03 w nitrous on w 3.55's. I have not checked prices. So I'd only go at most 4 gears more you have more time spent shifting= what .1 per gear change? mm&ff ran into this issue w 17" et streets 26" dia and 3.73's. And that had no power adder, figure 10 mph per 100 size jets. At least that's my plan w a auto.
I guess I should mention will drive on hiway a lot so really don't want lot of rpms at say 75/80mph. About same as the 03.
seems like a good price to me
ring and pinion, gear lube, friction modifier, silicon to reseal, parts tax labor they must only be charging 50 an hour job pays about 5 hours on alldata
I ordered the 3.73's with my 11 because I dont plan on touching power for a long time (suspension first) and wanted the extra pep. When I do save up enough to throw on a whipple, I will step down the 3.55's. I'm already chirping 4th, and almost useless in first. The car wont be any fun below third with a decent boost in power.
