Tony I run 3.31 in my rear with 2 different trans. G-Force for racing and a nash 6 speed for cruising. You didn't say what hp and tork you are looking at with your car. Given the cobras weight 3.07-3.54 is the best ratios. Trans with over drives you may want to go to a 3.07 gear. MY FEELINGS on the 2.88 Jag rear is the pininion is too small for this power and if you add a 17" soft tire or slick you make break or strip the gear. What ever you deceide build everything with heavy duty parts and chromemoly. This will save you money in the long run. 1 note 5grand clutch drops are brutial on the drivetrain with soft tires. Put a water sprayer kit in your car if you want to impress without breaking parts. Just a thought Rick Lake
