T-56 viper box behind 545 cobra

[AC-460]

I run the car on the road and on the track. My first option was to go for TKO600 and run a 3.31. Then I found that quicktime where making a bellhousing to take the TUET 1806 t56 viper box. With a .50 6th and 3.54 gears I can run 70mph at 1600rpm and have the 3.54 diff for mind blowing accelaration in the lower gears or should I just stick to the TKO 600 also thinking of running an aluminium flywheel and a McCleod twin plate clutch

Oh yea.. here are the different gear ratios for both transmissions...

'03/04 Cobra T56
2.97/2.07/1.43/1.00/.80/.62

Viper T56
2.66/1.78/1.30/1.00/.74/.50

I had a 03 Cobra and the Viper spec T56 is a stronger unit, more than just a different input shaft. There were several of the other Cobra guys that were busting the T56s and replacing it with Viper spec units.

I was just trying to throw out another option. For the 650hp and 650lb torque he is running... a Cobra T56 would be more than enough, and easier/cheaper to find.

I agree.. A cobra weighing <3000 lbs there shouldn't be a problem. I do hate that blasted weak 10 spline input shaft though..

That is why I already upgraded mine to the 26 spline... BEFORE I install my new Whipple. HA HA!
