What gearing and transmission would you recommend for a street driven--with some track, strip, autocross time--mostly street--Cobra replica with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine--somewhere around 2000 + hp, haven't dynoed it yet--

HP is all about bragging rights--in street cars--if it trips your trigger good on ya-go for it--looks impressive as hell--but if you can't run and control the beast at the same time,you only have bragging rights about how awesome it looks--if most of us were honest with ourselves we'd realize that we can't drive our cars to their limit with the HP we have now--track or street--some of you can--but if you can afford it and want it --why the hell not-- "life's too short to drink cheap beer"
