Which gears????? 355 or 373

[ChrisL]

Ok, an area I am lost in,even reading these old posts. I have a t-5 tranny from a 90 mustang . EFI 5.0 guessing with about 350 to 370 +or- hp. I will be running 295/50/15 and a posi rear .So which gearing do you guys recommend I go with for this combination the 355 or the 373. I will not be doing any racing ,just cruising , back road driving, highway driving and playing games . I would like a good all around gear , that will be fun down low for back road driving but so I can also cruise with it on the highway .so lets here your opinions what are the differances between the 2 gears .
Thanks for the help Chris

You wont notice much difference in either, their both fairly close. Your engine sounds like it is a great setup and with the T-5 which has a nice overdrive 5th I would go with the 3.73s. The only way I would not recommend the 3.73s is if you had a stock cam, this would put most of your power at a lower rpm and the higher rear would put you right outta your power band. If you have a bigger cam which it sounds like then go with the 3.73s but the difference between the two is neglegible.
