Your right about the gears and torque. MOST Cobra motors are Torque monsters and certainly don't need deep gears and a Tremec trans. I was just making the point that "some" of the Cobra's around can use deeper gears. My little motor makes good horsepower and Torque for its size. But my 390 ft/lbs of torque, although good for a 6 and 274" isn't squat compared to the big motors. Also for those who are confused by all this my motor pulls hard to the 8200 Rpm rev limiter setting so it likes the very deep gears which is why the 60' times are pretty good.

As far as what tires I use right now I'm on 8" M/Thompson ET STREETS. I'm changing over to 10" ET streets for this year. A buddy of mine says the better bite will get the "6" down to 1.30's 60'. If he is right I'm shooting for mid 10's which is the limit, IMO for the power available. I've been giving some thought to putting Nitrous in it for this years R & G and seeing if we can get it into the very low 10's (9's?)... Still not sure whether I want to go to the "gas" or leave it normally aspirated... Any ideas?
