3.73s, you'll still get pretty good gas mileage.

+1. anything higher then 3.73s on a 03/04 cobra is overkill, and traction will be an issue. 3.73s will be PLENTY! and if you wanna push it a little more..3.90's wont hurt either.

for all out performance 4.10s work realy good (best bang for your buck). 3.55s to 3.73s isnt even worth the money. if your worried about gas mileage, dont even change the gears.

thats exactly what i would recommend. 355 to 373s is only a marginal difference. gas mileage for mustangs? i threw that idea out the moment i wanted a mustang.

03-04 cobras come stock with 355's. SO I wouldnt go lower than 390, otherwise I dont see the point.

Stay with the stock gears, Use the money to port your blower instead. It would be much more bang for your buck!

4.10s, 3.73s ain't much of a difference over the 3.55s.
