If you haven’t run them in a Cobra how can you offer a valid opinion? A wild-a$$ guess adds no value to the discussion.
Here is another recent thread
Rear end gear question
You girly-men are STILL good for a laugh! It doesn’t matter what gear you run if you have crappy tires. Goodyear GTIIs are worthless, greasy, spinning $hit-piles even with a 2.90 gear and 450hp. Put a good sticky tire on the car and you will realize how quickly that you can use a lot more gear.
Rgnbull,
Are you just collecting parts to have it done? Or are you going to do it yourself?

Go post a video of you driving around punching the gas in first gear with 450rwtq , and how you don't spin the tires. "I'll believe it when I see it".

And we can comment because we have decent tires, and spin the tires with a much higher gear. And we have driven other cars with drag radials...and 4.10's, or whatever other combo.

The reality is that a 2600# car with one of the many lower rpm 427 SBF's will be useless in first gear with 4.10's.

ETA: I can't even comprehend how this is up for debate. If you want to say that you like 4.10's because you have more fun spinning, that's perfectly fine. But again, I call that useless. Obviously opinions and definitions of useless differ. However, it sounds like you are indicating that 4.10's are not useless by traction standards which goes against reality (talking about with any bit of power).
