So it's a quick question ...can you roll race with this gearing..I'm talking like 20 roll 40 rolls 60 rolls? Do you guys think it's good for rolls?
4.56 gear question
- Thread starter Svt98snake!
- Start date
Sure. 4.56's are the best gear for these cars N/A, and spray.
Your gonna be through the gears so quick its gonna sound like a big rig lol
4.30s are completely manageable, I wish I went 4.56
when i raced roll from 1st gear at around 5000rpm i would fall behind..when i started in 2nd it was way better..for roll racing id do 3:93s at the most.
Dig races are the only thing that proves anything in a straight line.
4.56's = animal.
LSX's, bring it on.

gears
went for a ride in 1997 cobra last night, 4.30 gears.
dont fear the gear, i think the 4.30 are perfect,
i cant wait to upgrade to 4.30 !

Go 4.30s and rev that thing to 7k. I wish I had gone with 4.30s instead of 4.10s.
Just when I was about to pull the trigger on 4.10s everyone's making me change my mind now lol ....
You don't drive it daily. 4.30!! Lol
At least.
I had 4.30s on my old 99 cobra and loved em! Can see in my sig the minimal mods and what I ran with 4.30s and still IRS..
Lol haha love the response ! Thank you so I guess the question is now....so 4.30 or 4.56 lol ? It's such a hard decision :/ lol
Really not a huge difference between the two, If running a 26inch tire I would go 4.30's if on a 28in tire 4.56's in my opinion.
Lol exactly barely a difference, but I totally agree with Dan J's last statement. If you will always be on a 28 even on the street I'd run the 4.56. Otherwise the 4.30s I think in my 99 @ 80mph my Rpms were around 3100
410's here. But I have 28in tall tires and a auto trans @ 20lbs boost.
I had them all 355,373,410,430, If I did it all over again I would have just gone 456 lol.

Power wins roll races. Extreme traction and gears are really only helpful from a dig and to the 1/4 mile. Steep gears aren't for roll racing imo. With my 4.30s I always got passed in 4th gear. 40 rolls are common on the street, so its perfect for a 2nd gear roll punch but after third gear they start to catch up lol.
I agree with the guy above me, I do a lot of 40pulls just because at that point its mostly your car that's going to win or lose not the driver, and with 410s at 40 I'm around 4k already which is a good starting point if you go 456s and you roll race your going to slam into third right away and then fourth then its over! I'd say no more then 430s
430s for a NA stickshift cobra. Its been gone over a million times on here.
News flash.... roll racing is not racing. It is BS. I can see it now doing the loser 500 weaving through traffic.
