What a positive difference (with a Viper spec T56) for a high RPM engine. Glad it did it (3.73's to 4.30's).

any track times yet with the 433rwhp Cobra??

I am going to get back on that car this winter; no times yet. I have to decide on an intake; I moved the FR500 intake from the 305ci to the 4.6 this summer. The 433 was with the FR500 intake.

Great idea to move back with your wealthy parents. I wish mine had money when they were alive (both gone for 20 years now). GO FOT IT !

Haven't check RPM's at 75 but they are very low with a 0.5 sixth. Probably not too bad in 5th either. I will say for daily driver it is nice because I can easily start in 2nd without slipping the clutch at all.

Seems less noisey than the 3.73's too but those gears had 70,000 on them.

I switched from 3.73's to 4.30's on my '03 and WOW! What a difference. My '03 is an aluminum block, '01 cams, and ported blower, so it makes a bunch of top end power (kind of lacking on the bottom end), so the 4.30s really made a difference. I should have done it a long time ago. Being able to rev it to 7k the 4.30's don't feel that low at all. It's like having 3.73's in a 5.0. Of course the 6th gear helps a lot for cruising.
