Chad,

My Cobra is a lot like Lou's with about the same hp and for 14 years I have raced and played real hard with my TopLoader 4 sp and except for one time it had performed flawlessly (broke the main shaft at the drags in St. Louis at Run N Gun with some really big drag slicks after turning mid 11's on previous run). But, last year I dropped in a TKO 600 with the .82 fifth gear and I absolutely love it because when I am on the freeway I am not turning 3500 RPM's at 70 mph. I get better gas mileage (as though that matters) and it is much more fun to drive around town. I have retired the Cobra from the road course and drag strip. I may have something else for road racing in the near future.

Your choice but IMO unless you have an original it really doesn't matter what you put in it because most people just know it is a Cobra that sounds really awesome and goes like stink.
