As the title states im looking to do a gear swap. My local dealer charges 1100 which includes them supplying all the parts and correcting the the speedo.

My auto has 3.15's which are so sluggish to me. Good MPG's though lol.

I hear 3.55's are great but then i see a few bad reviews of sluggish.
3.73's i only hear of 2 other ppl with them but they dont respond to questions about the gears. my only fear is if the 3.73's on a auto would be too jerky and a supper sensitive throttle.

does anyone have any light to shed on this? maybe even experiences from mustang users from the 11-14 gt model year?

Thanks in advance.

It depends on your goals for the car.

RB put 3.73s in his auto and then changed it out again for better 1/4 mile times.

It will be a mildly modded street car. never going to drag race. i may do i few back road runs. maybe track it as a experience.

By mild mods i mean

3.55s or leave it stock. My .02

Got this from ford racing.
Note: 3.15 ratio differential not compatible with 3.31, 3.55 and 3.73 ratio gears. Use differential M-4204-MT or M-4204-M

Do you have a tune yet? Your car won't feel sluggish with a tune in fact you'll have trouble getting the car to hook on the street. The autos feel sluggish because of two things. The stock tune and the soft converter. Trust me it's not the gears.
