No need for that much power in a Cobra, just about anything over 425 is a waste because its damn tough to get it to the rear wheels.

I have a 486HP 351W in my Cobra and realized I would need a HD tranny. So I went with the Richmond Gear.

Then again.....in my Mustang with a 500HP 351W, I have the Tremec 5 speed and no problems.

ST is right though, you may be trying to put way too much torque through the drivetrain. Again, it all depends on what you're doing with it and what components you're using.
