99 COBRA,CENTERFORCE STAGE 2 CLUTCH,BBK 65MM THROTTLE BODY,UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS,HURST SHORT THROW SHIFTER,BASSANI X PIPE NO CATS,FLOWMASTERS,150 HP SHOT OF NITROUS.I HAVE 3.73'S LOOKING FOR A LITTLE MORE.I DON'T DRIVE MUCH ON THE HIGHWAY.WAS GOING TO GO WITH 4.30,4.56 OR 4.10.WAS TOLD THAT THE GEARS WOULD BE TO MUCH FOR THE CAR.WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?I AM LOOKING TO BEAT UP SOME ZO6 VETTES.
if you have a 5 speed 4:30's will run pretty high on the highway. Just go all out and get a viper 6 speed, and4:56's. just kidding, I love my 4:10's, but would rather have the 6 speed, and 4:56's. 80 mph is right at 3000rpm in fifth!!! good luck, chris
I'm buying 4.10's next month. They seem to be the happy median between daily driveability and acceleration
I have 410's and they are great but a n/a cobra could take 430 or more on the street with no problem. but i advice putting some wider rubber out back
4.56 if you don't do much hwy driving. I don't either and I love mine. 65mph is about 2800rpm with stock 245/45/17's.
4.30 minimum. go 4.56s if u dont get on the road to much. but dont get 4.10s, within a month, u will want more.
If you plan on highway driving and want to do better than 10mpg 3.73's are a good all around gear. just my .02
You can go with more gear on the 96-98 cobra beacause they are solid axle'd but unless you want to bounce all the way down the track, Id go with either 410 or 430, but 410 if you drive on the highway, 373 is a big waste of money, nothing wrong with those gears, but its not worth the money.
I get 18-20mpg doing 60-65 around 2600 rpm with my 4.56's. I agree that 3.73's are a waste of money, 4.10's are on the borderline.
Hey how does it accelerate with those 456, sounds fun haha, I d have gone with them probably if I had a solid axle.
I run 3.73, but i got blower. Seems like the 4.10 and up would just turn your rubber into smoke unless you went with wide drag radials. I noticed more wheel hop when i put the 3.73s in, even airing down i need to be carefull when i launch dont want to break my IRS
