Need gear suggestion for my kenne bell cobra

[rizjan67]

Well i have an 04 kenne bell cobra with 4.10 gears which was good when the car was under 500rwhp but now car have 623rwhp and 4.10s are getting on my nerves I mean its just too much gear for me I have to shift every time I hit the gas,
So I am thinking about going to 3:31 or stock 3:55s ,just want to know what ratio of gear people use with 600+horsepower.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's personal preference. If this is a street car I would say 3:55s or 3:73s would be a good gear for your power. I have mid 6xx and have used both and had no complaints.

Most likely for street I do go to tracks but may be once a month .

i have 4.30's and am going to have 3.55's put in it because i dont like it. 4th is only good for 118 or so and i have to shift constantly in town.

i got a set of 3.27s if you may need to go that high i lost 20 mph on top end in third switching to 3.73s in 3rd but like the 73s better for my style of driveing

I think most that are not hard core track guys run the 3:55 or 3:73 gear. As far as will it help your traction issue well 600 + rwhp is a tall task for a tire other then a straight drag radial and even then the street in virgin pavement so traction is harder to find

Go back to stock and try the new toyo r888 for better traction.

pretty sure this should not be in the classifieds.
