Has anyone run the ring and pinion set from Pro 5.0? If yes are they good (quiet)? If no what do you run? I am looking into get a 4:30 ratio soon and a local stang shop told me the Ford set are now made overseas and they seem to whine more than in years past. I have had a set of Ford 3:73 in a 93 coupe with no noticable whine. Just looking to find out the most popular maker and was thing about the pro 5.0. Opinions and comments are greatly appreciated!
Thx

I haven't had any problems with any of the Pro 5.0 gear sets I've installed at the shop so far.

I have to believe that gear whine is the result of incorrect pinion depth and incorrect backlash, rather than low quality due to the manufacturer of the gears. Now maybe to some trivial extent, the manufacturer matters, but I don't care how high the quality of your gears is, if they are not setup properly, they will howl.
