2016 Mustang GT 3.73 Gears Upgrade

[@ChokolateSushi23]

Most people want a taller gear when they supercharge, hence the reason I ordered mine with 3.55s instead of 3.73s. 3.55 is kind of a good middle ground. I can't imagine how much the car is going to spin with that aggressive of a gear setup. I mean traction with a blower is going to be hard regardless, but still. To each their own.

[@Ultra54able]

Good video! I like how you haven't gone nuts with the bling and choose to put your money where counts most.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@RobertKohut]

I have 3.73:1 gears in my '13 GT and love it. I like the bottom end torque and the quick acceleration. Great gear choice!!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He's definitely enjoying it!

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

Cool install video, I didn't know what all goes into changing out the gears. Great to watch this car grow.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks, it's pretty cool for me to have so many friends that are in to modifying their cars. It is a lot of fun to see the transformations take place.

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

Ya I agree that's awesome, most of my friends aren't really into it... I'm trying to get more involved with local groups now as I start my mods.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

It definitely makes things more interesting.

[@mickey2036]

I have the 3.73 gears on my '16 GT, PP. Love them. Think the whole "you have to shift too much" thing with them is overplayed. Would like to supercharge eventually and still keep these gears despite the commonly held belief that 2nd gear is too short.. Also like your exhaust note. Really enjoy your channel! Keep up the awesome videos.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@AGBULLIT]

Wow, I am impressed with all the hard work going into this car. One day I will get 3:73 gears too!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

It's worth it!

[@davidmule4578]

Not sure if anyone else says it, but I appreciate the videos you guys make. They are great. I just wish i had the money to do the mods on my 16 GT, ugh...

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! There are a lot of smaller mods that you can do (spacers, vinyl, etc.) that really make a difference.

[@codyhumphries7359]

I need that 3.55 differential

[@amatas83]

buying a rear assembly with 3.73s in it must of been a nice thing instead of getting into the rear end to do the swap internally. I plan to take my V6 to 3.55s from the 2.73 stock ratio

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, especially since he got it used at a good price.

[@brandonpowell6735]

They are for sale if you want them :)

[@RobertKohut]

Actually a nice "easy" gear swap, easier than ring and pinion swap. Nice to see someone else with he Nitto Invo tires. I love them, great dry traction and decent wet traction. Good tread depth and slow wearing (long lasting). A very good ultra-high performance summer tire!!!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

I'm debating on the Invo's or Continental Extreme Contact's.

[@25enyce]

You need some cordless automotive tools. DeWalt is your friend for DIY jobs like this.

[@RoscoRide]

Nice, I guess it saves money over the $2500 performance package,though to add all the parts from ford they say it would be around 6 grand. I just checked the box when I ordered mine. Have fun

[@boomee78]

his car is supercharged? with 3.73 dosent that make first gear useless?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, he has a Paxton super charger. I'll let him comment on the usefulness of 1st gear though. I haven't driven his car, so I'm not sure. But, he wanted to get in the power band quicker. So, he's definitely doing that now.

[@vanseaco7058]

where is he getting all this money , my wife would castrate me

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

LOL!

[@boomee78]

+16P51-GT have you heard about the roush supwrcharged mustangs hoing for 42 grand ? thinking about ordering one next summer that or a challenger TA392

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, the dealership where I bought mine from is an authorized Roush dealer. They had one in there the other day. The one that I saw didn't have the Performance Package on it or any of the Roush exterior mods. It just had the Phase 1 Supercharger. It's cool if you want to buy the car supercharged already. But, buying it from an authorized dealer, you can buy any Mustang on the lot, get them to add on the super charger and have it included in financing. That way you aren't limited in your choice of color, options, etc.

[@M16xDr0pSh0tz]

Nice cuts man. Makes it really interesting to watch!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! It's not easy making a boring install look interesting. LOL!

[@bryan70546]

just curious , in order to change gears you have to change the whole diff out? enjoy you videos sir

[@GuytheCarGuy]

Lightweight rear end + that gear + a blower = you'll be doing this again real soon. The Torsen rear end is a much better differential. The stock GT unit isn't rated for heavy duty use. The Torsen unit is a gear driven LSD where the "Trak-Lock" differential uses a clutch system. I've seen people using those differentials blow them out on S550s in under 10,000 miles under moderate boost applications (575-650hp, approx 580 torque). The Torsen is a much better option for peace of mind, longevity, and dependability. The PP comes with a Torsen... a 3.73 gear swap is going to greatly reduce the life of that rear end (again, mainly due to the increased torque being delivered to that clutch assembly in the differential).

[@dtrooperVideo]

Hmmm... I am wondering if for the sake of covering the process, they didn't show any torque wrenches being used. If none were used, I'd be concerned about the overall integrity of the reassembly!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Everything was torqued to spec. I just didn't show it all.

[@geofillingame2335]

Great videos makes me love my 2015 gt even more!!!!!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks!

[@travfdy]

Once again man, where do you get this bad ass music from? 😊

[@StangMode]

Great video!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks brother.

[@johncontreras9782]

My comment was due to the fact that the old 5.0s from fox body days were the preferred gear with the higher revving coyote it seems that us older gear heads select the 3.73 as a throwback I'm in a 2015 with pp and the 3.73, I think the 3.55 with NA would be ideal and with forced induction the 3.31 would be the best setup personal preference aside. To each his own i say and as long as he is content then so be it. With the blower getting to the powerband quick not an issue at any gear but with the lower gearing your top end performance is optimal...imho

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, my comment wasn't directed at you.

[@timothyhanson2864]

Who is gunna recalibrate the speedo for those gears? I work at Hypertech and we are about to release our Max Energy 2.0 for the 17-15 5.0 Mustang....but it only recalibrates for non-stock tire sizes (other features too LOL). Hopefully we can add the rear gear feature in the future...Love the vids...Love my 16 GT and glad to see so many loving theirs! S550ilver out!!!! :)

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! HIs speedometer is only off by about 3 miles per hour, so not sure if he is going to worry about it. But, if so I think he planned on getting the Whipple flash device. How much are you guys selling yours for?

[@timothyhanson2864]

I think its 379ish retail? Im not all up on pricing as I am the Art/Creative Director here. 20 years here so you'd think id know more on pricing...LOL I tuned mine....totally different animal. I have a non-PP 5.0 manual with 3.31 gears, so I tuned for 93 Octane, and changed throttle response...We are in beta testing still, so when it releases I can send more info - Power gains, all the features, etc....

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Cool, let me know when you have more info!

[@timothyhanson2864]

I will. I have a release E-Blast I can send you that gives more details.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Sounds good. [e-mail]

[@TheNonSmokingTire]

i have those exact nitto invo tires, awesome tires!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

I've heard good things about them. I'm going to be switching tires soon, I currently have the Nitto 555's, but want something with better traction.

[@TrainerDee]

I have 305/45 nt05r's on mine and they are great!

[@johncontreras9782]

Curious usually with forced induction the gear ratio you are looking for is lower usually with this setup 3.31s can Brandon explain why he wants to be shifting sooner and not utilizing all the power as efficiently ... Much respect on the rides gentlemen

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! He explained it toward the beginning of the video, but it's because he wants to get in the power band more quickly.

[@DUNEATV]

Your the only person on here that knows that...and your absolutely right. Car will be slower with the 3:73's...

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

It's a bit presumptuous to say that he's the "only person that knows that". Brandon knows how gears work and there's plenty of info out there on what other people are doing in terms of swapping gears. But the 3.73's are just what he preferred. He's happy with it, so that's all that matters.

[@kevinowens6681]

excellent video sweet car Mustangs forever

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! And yeah, Mustang's forever!

[@CIASpook71]

I love your friends license plate! Cool!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, I didn't know what it meant for the longest. LOL!

[@CIASpook71]

+16P51-GT wait...it actually means something?

[@CIASpook71]

+16P51-GT 2017?

[@cisco680]

What does it mean? I read it as 892 or 8 - 911 maybe?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

It's 911, he works for the fire department.

[@RamyWarda]

worth upgrading 3.15 to 3.73/4.10? Let me put it this way, my 1st gear tops out a 50mph...

[@davidrussell4569]

3.15 with an auto or manual? Makes a big difference especially first gear being 4.2:1 vs 3.66:1.

[@RamyWarda]

I never even saw this, but 3.15 with an auto. I actually think my diff is shot so Imma try to get ford to swap it with a factory 3.55 under warranty lol

[@davidrussell4569]

3.31-3.55 work well on the auto cars.

[@darkman8022]

That thing sounds awesome damn

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, it does. Makes me want a Paxton, lol!

[@johncontreras9782]

I will say you are awesome for responding i watch all the vids

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! And thanks for commenting!

[@wardeagle1015]

How happy is he with the pumpkin swap?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He's loving it so far. I'm probably going to be putting the 3.55's he took out in to my car since it came stock with the 3.15's. I just need to check on getting an updated tune.

[@wardeagle1015]

+16P51-GT I have 3:15s also. Would love to move to 3:55s

[@wardeagle1015]

+wardeagle1015 same car you have and same tune. Let me know how that goes

[@regularMattMatt]

i got 3.55 and loving it but was thinking about switching to 3.73

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He noticed quite a difference, so it looks to be worth doing.

[@dannyb8955]

Are those 19's or 20's? Car looks great!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

They're the OEM Performance Pack 19's

[@MrCt302]

Do u need a tune for the gear change? Im going to 3.73 in my 2016 mustang.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

You need the Whipple flare tool to change the gear ratio.

[@aidank2]

You Guys Rock :-) Great Videos

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks!

[@ramivalencia]

Nice car and with a supercharger? Damn. I have a 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium with the 2.0L Turbo engine and it's a quiet car all around. The only thing you hear most of the time is the tires rolling lol. I don't think I could drive such a loud car for long considering I can hear a pin drop on a carpet floor.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

It's a lot louder outside of the car as the 15+ Mustangs are pretty well insulated. But, yeah it will definitely be a lot louder than a Fusion!

[@mmikerhodes]

Hey, love your videos. Just got my first Mustang last month. 2015 GT in Triple Yellow. Looking to replace the wheels and tires. Do you know the brand and sizes of Brandon's? Thanks.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! I love Triple Yellow. Brandon has the Nitto Invo tires in 275/35/20 on the front and 315/35/20 on the rear. He has the Project 6GR wheels. n4sm.com/project-6gr-wheels-satin-black-19x10

[@mmikerhodes]

Thank you and thanks for the link. Of course those wheels had to be the most expensive ones I looked at so far! I like the ones on your car too. I'll keep looking.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

LOL! That's how it usually is. I have the CDC Outlaws on mine.

[@Stratisphear]

What rims are those that Brandon has on his gt? They look like the GT350 Carbon fiber rims. Are they sold anywhere aftermarket?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

They're the GT350R replica wheels. They're not made of carbon fiber, though. I'll have to ask him where he got them from.

[@Stratisphear]

Thanks for the reply man, yeah if you can find out that would be awesome

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

No problem. You can find them here: n4sm.com/catalog/product/view/id/151545/s/project-6gr-wheels-satin-black-19x10/category/7/

[@gjodexter]

Nice licences plate, Air tools may have made it easier.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, he did use air tools at times, just not shown a lot in the video.

[@rubycoyote4513]

supercharger sounds amazing but why didn't he jus swap ring and pinion ???

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Probably because he got the gears used and at a good price. But, I'd have to ask him.

[@rubycoyote4513]

+16P51-GT ok cool jus curious I'm getting my gears put in next week and yall have 2 awesome mustangs and great channel keep up the good work

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks!

[@kencam2426]

Btw, nice shop and the helping hands.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yes, they have a nice set up there and it was really cool of them to jump in and help out!

[@shadad07]

@1:32 ...so this is 2016 car..and there is soo much rust underneath?!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, it's a 2016. That part just rusts because of the material it's made of. It's like that on my car as well.

[@shadad07]

well its not on my car! i got 2005 GT ( yes! ) and i don't even have 10% of that rust underneath my car. i live n middle east where its hot and the humidity is very high. but yeah ..who knows what material ford used on 2016!

[@christopherwright9498]

How much does an upgrade like this cost? I was thinking about upgrading from 3.31 to 3.73.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He bought his used, but you can get it here: www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-irs-373-loaded-torsen-diff-1516.html

[@kencam2426]

Nice work on the car and video. It should get him in the right spot of the powerband and 1st gear will still have some rpm left to wind up. :-)

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! He's loving it so far.

[@jpadilla0515]

Man i wanna do this, but doing my half shafts was a nightmare lol

[@stevenbarnett8161]

Sounds awesome, what exhaust is that?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Corsa Extreme. But he has a Paxton Supercharger on there as well.

[@somanyroads74]

Great video. I can imagine that thing is just flat nasty banging through the gears. Super clean ride and that coming from a Camaro owner. I'm running the stock 3.45 gear. I plan on keeping my car NA so I may put in a 3.91. If I owned a mustang and wanted it supercharged I'd run a 3.55 gear. NA the 3.73 is the way to go for me all day. But, it's your car man and I always find it interesting to see what guys do to their rides and why. That's what makes the muscle car lifestyle so fun. We can have all the debate and banter and make our cars how we want them. Good job fellas. 👍

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks!

[@JCTiggs1]

Since we're on the topic of gears and there seems to be a wide variety of 2015+ GT's in your videos, how big of a difference in acceleration is there between the manual transmission 3.31 to 3.55 to 3.73's? I'm speaking more real world tests, from standstill and rolling at speed. Is it very noticeable going from 3.31 or 3.55's to 3.73's? I've had 3.73's and 4.10's in the past on older Mustangs, but I've read the newer Mustang already has shorter individual gearing from 1st to 4th and some say 3.73's are too short for a daily driver in and around the city.

[@davidrussell4569]

Seat of the pants 3.73s or even 3.55s feel stronger than 3.31s seat of the pants however that extra torque multiplication comes at the expense of slower speeds in each gear. I've seen a bunch of races and it's a drivers race as the guy with 3.73s is shifting a lot more often to get to the same speed.

[@imaking867]

How long did that all take?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

I think it was about 4-5 hours if I remember correctly. It's been a while though.

[@sergizzy13]

ohhh thats was up appreciate it

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

No problem!

[@ThePokePlugTCG]

+16P51-GT Did you switch from 3.15s to 3.73s?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

No, I still have the 3.15's

[@3oOodist]

Good job man...

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks!

[@bt_s550]

+16P51-GT any plans for the rear of your car? like a valence?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Yeah, I'm considering the GT350 quad tips.

[@SolShinobi]

I have the same wheels on mine. Have 19s though. 10s/11s

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

They are some nice wheels, I probably would've gotten them if I didn't get the CDC Outlaws.

[@cisco680]

How do you like the gears? Did they help and was this with an automatic?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He's been loving them and no Brandon's car is a manual.

[@cisco680]

I have the automatic with 3.55s. Was wondering if it was worth the time and effort without a supercharger.

[@mrdbrawner1]

will he be selling his 3.55 gears?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He was, but I'm buying them.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Hey, I changed my mind about buying them. If you're interested, let me know.

[@brandonpowell6735]

They are for sale :)

[@mrdbrawner1]

+16P51-GT cool how much does he want for them

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

$400

[@coyote5.043]

Great video man. I bet he keeps going to 1000 hp. Haha. Horespoweraddiction!!

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks! Yeah, once you start searching for power it's hard to stop.

[@4evrsccr]

What exhaust does he have

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Corsa Extremes

[@kevinowens6681]

best sounding 5.0

[@jeffreyoddo1612]

Should have replaced the axles while he had the old ones out.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He mentioned that during the install. But, the install was kind of a last minute thing.

[@ATQedits]

Does this void the warranty?

[@Sahadi420]

I'm guessing yes if it's not done by Ford. You are tearing open the rear end.

[@TehZured]

Only if ford can prove the problem was caused by that

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Ditto on what +TehZured said. They would have to prove that it was caused by it.

[@trualbanian1]

What Exhaust do you have son?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He has Corsa Extreme's

[@trualbanian1]

16P51-GT whats a good exhaust that does exhaust rumbles. Im sure u know what i mean by rumbles. Like when u rev it and it has like deep tone thunder crackbacks. And im looking for one thats kinda loud as well. Any suggestions?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

FlowMasters may be something you want to look in to.

[@darkman8022]

And nice video too

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Thanks!

[@logielogful]

how much for all of that?

[@keithbarrios3821]

What rims are on this car?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

GT350 replicas. Project 6Gr's

[@TehZured]

Nice

[@TheNattyking]

What shop is that

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Rent-A-Lift in Norfolk, VA

[@sergizzy13]

how much for labor?

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

At the place we went to, you just pay by the hour to rent the tools and lift, etc. The guys that work there will jump in and help you out a little. But you don't pay for labor.

[@JBWHITEGT]

Seriously going to kill his top end and hes going to need some really sticky tires or its just a smoke show. Otherwise clean ass 5.0...

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

He's had the gears on for over a week and he loves the way it drives. He doesn't track his car, it's a daily driver.

[@JBWHITEGT]

Im sure he doesnt care about going over 120 is why he went with that set up. He just wants to get to 120 as fast as possible.

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Exactly.

[@sins0510]

if i whipple my automatic 2017 mustnag CS do you think i should upgrade my gears to 3.7 ?

[@EPICYELLOWHORSE]

ROFLMBAO at 4:44! 😅

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

I had the same reaction!

[@DJKiDDKlashez]

Burrell1 ready for lift-off

[@badjojo1125]

I dont understand? Instead of doing all of this work, why not just buy a gt with the pp...smh

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Valid point. When he bought the car he wasn't planning on doing all of the modifications that he's done. But, honestly it only took 4 hours and he got the gears at a good price. So, the route he went was cheaper than buying the PP.

[@anthony2009accord]

more like downgrade unless you are just doing 1/4 mile runs only

[@davidrussell4569]

Depends on use. 3.73s will give better response and drivability while out of boost and will make the higher gears more fun on the hwy as 4th-6th will pull better.

[@Salty_reviews]

Oh that rust, nature's powder coating

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

LOL! Yeah, every S550 I've seen is like that.

[@Crazyd2050]

sounds like a jet.....

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

LOL! Yep, that Paxton is insane!
