Author Topic: 3.73's or 4.10's for a 96 cobra 50 Deep Jockin 03 Cobras Member # 6216 posted                                 Hey i got a question that i could use some help with. I just got a 96 cobra and im making my wish list of parts for it. I have 3.73's in my 5.0 and are happy with the results. but ive heard that they werent as effective on the 4.6 cobra motor. so basically i want to know would it be better to run 3.73's or 4.10's on my cobra if i plan to keep it as a daily driver but still be enough to burn an SS -------------------- Signature Wheel Ford Representative Email: Terrance@Signaturewheel.com Instagram: @Signature_Wheel_Mustang Web: www.SignatureWheel.com Posts: 6043 | From: sacramento | Registered: Nov 2005  |  : 9cobrasnake9 CAFords OG Member # 575 posted                                 definately 4.10's if not 4.30's. dont go with anything less steep and have fun with the cobra -------------------- 96 Mystic Cobra 2011 F150 Raptor Posts: 893 | From: Chico, Ca | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : 03SVTPower CAFords OG Member # 518 posted                              you will be amazed how much better you cobra will find its power band with 4:10's, power wise you are a bit short of messing with the LS1 SS's on freeway speeds, but with some nice tires and better gearing you will give them a good run off the line!!! -------------------- 2003 Redfire "AED" Cobra R.I.P Posts: 3481 | From: Nor-Cal | Registered: Oct 2001  |  : stangless ¯ Member # 1414 posted                              go with atleast 4.10s... if you don't drive the car much and plan on staying n/a.. go crazy and get 430s -------------------- =( Posts: 4634 | From: bay | Registered: Jun 2002  |  : 89point. ¯ Member # 6078 posted                              my dad and my frined both have 96 cobras, they both put in 410's my dad loves them but my friend wants to go down to 373's.

Ive also checked allfordmustangs.com and thats the general concensus there too. Now i was wondering though for those of you who added 4.10's what gear and rpms are you at now on the freeway going about 80? because going 80 is fun and i dont wanna put to much stress on the motor. I was also wondering what technical problems you hit with having to reprogram the computer and getting the speedo recalibrated. -------------------- Signature Wheel Ford Representative Email: Terrance@Signaturewheel.com Instagram: @Signature_Wheel_Mustang Web: www.SignatureWheel.com Posts: 6043 | From: sacramento | Registered: Nov 2005  |  :
