Thank you all for the kind comments, the one thing alot of people that sell these units don't take into account is all the other variables. I have been around Cobras for along time, I used to build chassis for a well known Replica Company, that and I have been racing cars and motorcycles since I was 7 years old. Through my racing experiance I learned early that setup was everything, that is the reason why not many people get away with ordering their transmission from me the first time we talk  . I want to know cam range, rear gear ratio, size of tires, HP and torque ratings, and most importantly what their main goal is with their car. All those factors come into play because lets face it, it doesn't matter how much HP you have if your transmission and rear gear do not do their job effectively. I have road in far to many Cobras with 500 plus HP and it felt gutless because the car was not geared or setup properly. But I have also been in several 300HP Cobras that felt like they had 500 plus HP because everything worked as a well oiled machine. jimig@standardtransmission.com
