If you're keeping the 3'73s then the .64. If you're also going to a better final drive, like under 3.5, then I'd say the .82. Another consideration that I made was the fact that I wanted to be able to track the car. Considering that it worked out beautifully and I'm running 3.46 gears. With this set-up I have great accelaration in all gears and OD doesn't feel like my torque fell off a cliff, it just feels like the next logical shift RPM drop.

I agree. 3.08 with a WR TL. That combination is geared like a five speed without first gear. So much torque available with a 454 that a highish first is an advantage rather than a hindrance, and it would be cool to wind out to close to 60mph (easily) in first.

Like mentioned, third gear is a natural shift, open palm straight away and I dont think I ever missed a shift, even under throttle. If you are doing as much highway as street and backroad, you may want to consider the .64 fifth. Depending on your setup, it may rev a bit too high on the highway for your liking. Work the calculator numbers and it will give you a great sense of your revs.
BTW Doug, #2632 sold and departed on to a former SPF owner who now lives in Wisconsin. There is a big empty space in my garage and my heart...but I am happy of the future plans for the car. I may keep posting from time to time just because I loved that car so much...and the people associated with them are a great group.

Eric - Congrats on the sale of your car! It was your first Cobra, but I'm sure it won't be your last. Don't be a stranger. |
