Just a "little" different setup.......:banana:
It was pretty cool having those gears in a Cobra. I could reach crazy high speeds in each gear. 2nd went to around 70, 3rd to around 100, 4th to at least 130 (only did this once lol), and when I did a pull in 5th on the way home, we hit 100 at only 4k rpm and still pulling like crazy. These would be perfect gears for street racing with around 600whp because you barely ever have to shift :rockon:
that is correct raised to 7000!! more time between shifts!!! in the book IRON FIST LEAD FOOT (which i recommed every 03/04 cobra owner should have) John Coletti states that these cars rev limiter were going to be set at 6900 rpms,but because of the 3.55 gears they set them 6500 rpms!!! so these motors can whine up to 7000 rpms w/ no problem(Forged Manley Rods)in the book that was the main factor for Go or no Go for 03/04 cobras, John Coletti has one the first Rods as a trophy in his office (their is a picture of it, him holding it in the book) that surived the grueling 300 hour test at redline on these motors!!! very good book about the making of the 03/04 cobras!!!:beer::beer:I believe what is meant by this, is that he raised the redline with a hand held tuner. Basically buying himself a little time between shifts.
Honestly I don't know why you would raise the redline any further than 6600 rpm, unless you changed your cams. I have always gotten my best quarter mile times shifting at 6400rpm. I don't think changing gears would make a difference in this, your motor would still be making the same power and torque at the same curve. It would just get there faster.
what do you have to alter to allow 4.56s? I know the max you can go is 4.30's without modding something...
I think you have to clearance the inside of the housing a bit, but I'm not sure.i know you have to do something but for the life of me right now i cant remember what the hell it is... if no one else responds ill figure it out in the morning. for some reason the pin is sticking in my mind
+1Oh, the 4.10 gear mod for the 03-04 I would only do with viper 5/6 ratios in the trans. Simply Awesome!!-
