You should gain in town mpg due to less throttle required to overcome the weight of the car.

If you have the Procal version two hand held unit (the blue unit with an LCD screen), the speed can be adjusted for the new gears.

Buy them from Tousley Ford Parts for 132.00 + shipping. Best price you will find on them. You will also require an install kit. (about 127.00 for the FRPP version)
Then find a reputable shop to install them.

I think it depends on your driving habits and what your using the car for. I have 410s and dont regret them ..... You really get use to the quickness off the line ... the easy rolling starts that 410 gears give u ... its alot easier on your clutch too.
Down side is rpms and gas mileage .... if you plan to do any substanial highway driving I would go with the 373's .... either gears you will need a programer to calibrate your speedo. All 07 and 08 and 09 models came with the 331 gears ..... so if you go to a ford store looking for a factory tune with 373 gears ..... for your shelby ... it wont happen
Any gear change will require a programmer ..... which most people have anyway ... hope this has helped

As a matter of fact I have 410's in my Rubicon. It is so short between shifts that I take off in 2nd gear, unless on a hill.
My SVT certified mechanic says 373's are the best gears for the stock tires on our cars. Getting mine in the spring. Can't wait.
