Yes!!
Received insurance notice last night that everything is okay.
Headed out to LRP today to meet the Long Island Cobras after
leaving work around 10:30.
After 110 miles so far I realize I should have went with
"taller" gears. (3.07:1 = 33,000rpm crusing at highway speeds).
Although this does make for interesting driving off of the highway,
and when I the highway, you never have to down shift out of 5th.

Holy smokes Todd, what kind of engine do you have in the car, a turbine?

If not, you could probably make some advertisement dollars from the rod bolt manufacturer. I'm not sure even the best ARP bolts would hold up to those kind of RPM's though!!

oops, should have said 3,000rpm.
I did spend 7 years at Pratt & Whitney, but
never saw and engine that would work in a Cobra.
