Finally back into a Mustang, been a long time …

How would 4:30’s be for daily city driving?

4.30 are fantastic for city driving. Depending on your normal speed, you may even increase your MPG. (You could be in 4th vs 3rd gear in the city)

On the highway they aren't bad either. About 2800 at 80mph in 5th.
I ran 4.30s for many years before going to 3.55s with my new setup. Even now, I want more gear. I'm thinking 3.73s

4.30s make you feel like you added a lot of tq for a small $ investment.

Sounds like a decent enough plan. 71K miles on a '97 Cobra is great! I don't have any shop recommendations for you, unfortunately, but hopefully someone will provide that info for you.

Thank you and everyone else for the kind words. It would be nice if any Az natives chime in.

You can just look at the girlfriends/wives thread.

I plan on adding a blower soon so I’m looking for an ideal gear ratio for a centrifugal setup.
