c4 question

[wht_stang]

i've heard that c-4s are geared lower is that true and if i was to put one on my 98 gt how much would that help in quarter mile also recommended gear ratio and which is better the c-4 or a BUILT stock whatever that one is im not positive aode i think

[Stangman]

can a C4 even bolt up to a 4.6?? or better yet do they make custom bellhousings?

Yes they bolt right up. We have 2 at the shop. One going in a 98 Cobra and one in an 05 GT.

The AODE is going to much more expensive to build, but you do have the advantage of overdrive. The C-4 isn't very freindly to MPG, but IMO are stronger and cheaper to build. As far as ratio, 1-3, I don't know if the C-4 is lower or not.

I'd run at least 3:73. Maybe 4:10s with a modular.

If this is primarily a street car I would not put a c4 in it. You will hate losing your OD. If you already have an auto try driving around w/ the car in D and see how you like it without the OD, I'm sure you'll get tired of it real quick.

[wht_stang]

what would be the quarter mile gains and would you have to get a shifter or could you possible reuse the stock one for sleeper purposes

C-4 actually has a higher first gear. 2.48, 1.48, 1:1

i dont know a thing about gear ratios
