You also had a Mach 1 with 4.56's and F/I if I remember correctly right? So that tells me from experience you love your gears.4.10's aren't a bad choice for a 6R80 Coyote. I actually really enjoy the 4.10's combined with my 5,000 rpm stall converter in my '14 GT.
Auto and 4:10s
do it
You're kidding right?
4.10's aren't a bad choice for a 6R80 Coyote. I actually really enjoy the 4.10's combined with my 5,000 rpm stall converter in my '14 GT. Minor mods (see sig below). Lots of fun to drive on the street (it's a daily driver), and it doesn't do too bad at the drag strip (best ET 11.78 and typically 11.80's with 115-116 mph trap speeds). That's with a 100% stock engine, 100% stock suspension, factory wheels, and a loaded car weighing 3800 lbs (with me in the car).

^ The new transmissions are similar to going up two or three gear sizes.
I have a 2014 with MT82 and 3.55 gears. It is waaaaaaaay shorter than my Bullitt with 3.73 gears, and my tires are an inch taller. I could run 3.15 gears and it would probably be closer to the 3650 with 3.73.
The MT82 with 3.73 gears would be like running 4.56 gears on the older cars.
" my trap speed was as fast as or faster than his every run (we're talking 1.5-1.7 0-60 vs my 1.9-2.1"
Hmmmm.. I don't think you know what a trap speed is.
For future reference it's your MPH at the end of your 1/8th or 1/4 mile run.....

I'm running a Steeda tune, which is better than the BBR I had before, but I get a downshift clunk so thinking about trying a new tune soon.
On a side note, a local buddy bought a 2014 Fusion AWD with paddle shifter automatic. I took it for a spin down some twisty back roads one night. Aside from the fact the AWD would clean the RWD mustang's clock every time.
Again, huh? It is not a DCT, so it still has a torque converter. At high rpm it still has a delay when shifting. They allow you pick and choose a gear which is nice, but it's just a gimmick if you ask me.the paddle shifters worked superb....like totally transparent.
