Iv always herd that 4.10 are a waste on a NA cobra unless you have a power adder. The car had 4.10 when i bought it are 4.56s or 4.30 better this is a daily driver but im gettin 32mpg with 4.10s

damm!! 32mpg
my 5.0 gets 17 mpg if i'm lucky
shit you get better gas milage than my sisters rice bucket (98 civic)
every one i talk to who has a 4.6 uses 4:30 with the 6 speed..
oh and they do a lotta freeway driving..
if you got the 4:10 and are getting that mileage
i'd stick with the 4:10s ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)

u sure u dont have a 4banger in that motor? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
ive never heard a v8, let alone a cobra getting that kind of mileage. u must be getting near 400 miles between fillups which is unheard of unless ur coasting downhill

if you go any bigger its not gonna get good gas mileage...stick with the 4.10's....those are plenty enough!! get some drag radials and a full exhaust and the BITCH will scream!

Not possible to get that kind of mileage unless you are going to work or anywhere else downhill both ways.

430's or 456's you must want to drive 50 mph all day. Stay with your 410.
