4.10's are a good choice for a mod motor, they won't kill the gas mileage but will pull the powerband a lot quicker.

A little info on the GT/CS...

Quote:
There’s even more style under the hood of the new California Special: The Mustang GT’s 300-horsepower 3-valve 4.6-liter V-8 gets treated to a unique engine cover that gives the engine compartment the kind of dressed-up look that you'd only expect to see at custom car show. (For those who may wish their GT/CS had a little more “go” along with all the extra “show,” the Ford Racing Performance Group offers several exciting parts packages to provide some additional kick. One popular choice is the Ford Racing Power Pack, which includes a 90mm Cold Air kit, a performance Muffler Kit and the special Ford Racing engine calibration – good for about 20 additional horsepower at the rear wheels. Visit www.fordracingparts.com for details.)

It ain't the gear that you need to worry about raising your gas costs... it's the racing at wide open throttle for two miles that's going to hurt you.

I bet you'd hardly notice the difference in mileage.
