Get an k&n for your air box and full exhaust setup. And don't let it sit in boxes like me..

Oh and get a Beltran battery tender. Go to retailmenot get 25% off coupon and head to local harber freight this week!

Speaking of your air box I have never seen an engine shot of your car? Show me your box! :spankme:

No less than 3.73's. They are perfect for this car. MGW makes the beat quality shifter IMO.
Then you need a nice exhaust and some lowering springs.

I said 3:73s tnecniV!

Seriously, 3:73 on a mostly stock Cobra will be perfect. I take mine on the highway from time to time with 3:73 and it's not bad at all, you will be fine if that's what you're :headbang: worried about.....

Ahhhh. Now that I'm done with that Sharpie ... ;)

I didn't realize your car had that many mods. You didn't mention mufflers and with those LTs and off-road pipe, I highly recommend a set of Flowmasters. You'll never get tired of the sound of your car after that.

As for the gears ... you really can't go wrong with either 3.55s or the 3.73s. There's not a big difference between the two. But there's a dramatic difference when switching to either from the stock 3.08. You'll be pleased whatever way you go.

MGW's are sweet, but I prefer a Hurst in my Fox. I'm old school. 3.55's FTW as well.

I had a gold handle MGW in my Terminator and liked it a lot...but I'm with Esco on this. Currently rocking an "OG" cast-base Hurst Competition Plus shifter in my '93. Love the old school!
