With stock tires and a .68 5th gear @ around 5,500 mathmatically your doin around 165mph...
Dallas Mustang carry an "Speedcal" to recalibrate your speedo..

If you have the IRS on your cobra, be prepaired to spend some $ for install. I would do other mods before gears.
Brian what's the abbot box ![[Confused]](confused.gif) What would you do before gears also? Just curious.

Abbot box is what I have had in both my 99's. With 3:27's Top speed should be aorund 175. But there is a limiter on the cars form the factory. I know Byron can bypass it.
