gear install

Good god who riced out the 99 cobra justin?

Not to steal a thread but what kind of gears should I put in mine considering my max redline is 6250rpm or so I am told. I like to run a road course but might try drag racing later on and I plan on going F/I in the next year either twin turbo or Vortec intercooled.

I would first see what gear you currently have...that would give us a bearing on which to go with.

Your neighbor is hot.

Thats a nice looking car. Thats a cobra r wing correct? Looks like a cobra r hood too.

Da*n the dealer for putting a GT bumper on it. That is BS.

That color is great on cobras for sure.

There are ways to beef up the IRS and upgrade the halfshafts. Just remember you do have 1,000 RPMs more in each gear then everyone else. I have 4.10 gears in mine right now and i think this car would be awesome with 4.30's or even 4.56's. Who knows i may switch them out and see how they perform.

Yeah, I plan on beefing up the IRS if I keep it, but I hear even people with beefed up IRS break HS's. I guess its the price you pay for how sweet it drives.

Yeah, I originally was planning on just putting 4.10's and FI it now, but I decided it didnt want to risk ruining my block so FI is way down the road with a rebuild. I am starting to lean a bit more towards 4.30's. They are a little steeper than a 4.10 but not as drastic as a 4.56.

Touche. 1 point for you sir.

How about this. I suppose that is "functional" in that if you race someone it will make them slow down to avoid the spoiler??

haha....I LoL'd

Holy Crap!!! Thats what my side scoops are going to do. LOL

Great video. If I was the guy driving I would just act like nothing happened. People would say "hey, didnt you have a spoiler??" "what spoiler? I dont know what you are talking about". Then I would move out of town and sell my car.

David, are you stating that George will get blown with 373s?

I have no rev limiter with my tune it is self inflicted redline before my piston and rods get a divorce if I leave it in drive the shift points are at 6200 in a chosen gear like 2nd or 3rd the sky is the limit literally.

Yes it does. You get to tell the wifey that the motors broke and you need an all forged motor.

Good thinking. I like the way you think.

Why not F-1 cars are all auto's , hey when I say I am good trust me I can make a toaster go fast around corners. Seriously one of my only talents in life is I can drive the wheels off anything. I know that sounds like BS but hey it is very good BS and it's mine so it doesn't stink to me.
