It really depends on what you want to do with your mach. If your just going to run around town and drag ocasionaly i would say 4.10. But perhaps you are more into drag racing and want to express the full potential of a 1/4 mile than your 4.30's are ideal. That doesnt mean that you cant drive 4.30's around town. They do just fine in city driving as well as highway speeds. Enough that they stay below 3000 rpm at 80 mph. 4.30's work the best with the 4 valve and stock transmission gearing. Our engines breath at the higher rpm scale and pulls harder during that range. That is what makes the 4 valve so special. You might loose a little top end because of the taller gear, but it more than makes up for it out of the hole.
