4:10's are in

Well I finally got the 4:10 gears in (well I had them put in). I am going to have to get use to the quicker shifts. Overall the RPM's aren't much higher under normal driving conditions. At highway speeds the RPM's are up about 200 to 2100 @ 60 mph. But the acceleration is way up. The throttle response is now what the badge name 'Cobra' implies. Ford should have made 4:10's a stock option on this car although I would imagine that fuel economy dictates what they put in. They could have at least made it a Factory option allowing the customer the choice of fuel ecomony vs throttle response. I would recommend 4:10's for any 4V stangs out there.
