Yes, I would go with the .82 overdrive either way you go....

If you would like to fine tune your engine parts choices, shoot me an email or give me a call. I can walk you through some different scenarios. All of the parts need to work together, from the cam, to the intake, rearend gears, transmission, etc.

With that solid cam that you listed, the engine will have higher hp and tq peaks. That's perfectly fine with a high performance lightweight car like a Cobra. However, you have to choose the rest of your parts to work well with the lack of bottom end power and the tendency for that engine to be a little on the fussy side at off-idle and low rpms.
