thats a good list.... def go with the 4.30s...the cobras like the gear..
also, u need to upgrade the irs...a set of drags will help alot, but when u start making power u need to call MM and order some parts for it...

They only came with 2 1/4 piping stock. The midpipe will help more than the catback right off the bat. I recommend getting a bassant catback down the road though.

Half-shafts aren't the the worry, it's the case. Put a brace on it with solid bushings, you'll be fine. A stock 01 cobra engine, even with minor bolt-ons, won't hurt a shaft that's in good condition.

For starters,I would install a Griggs racing full frame kit and then I would get some Fikse FM 10 wheels and 315/35/17 and 275/4017 Goodyear GSD tires.
For engine mods, I would skip the Hardware store sewer drain pipe JLT kit. Uless you want to turn your car into a gas guzzler and enjoy spinning the motor past 3000RPM while crusing on the freeway, I would not go with 410 or lower gears unless you plan on getting a T56 6 speed trans

4.10's
JLT
Meizere elec. Pump
Royal purple synthetic oil
MGW or steeda tri-ax
X-pipe
1 piece crank puulley/dampner
I looooove royal purple as after the change my car did rev more freely. Also the meizere pump cools and lets it rev 2. The gears will give u that out of the hole speed and are the best bang for the buck. I'm not sure why 1fast281 is against the pulley tho ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

solid axle.
the reason alot of people stay away from crank pullies is there is a rumor that it will break you oil pump gears or start giving you crank walk.just make sure you get a balancer not a solid pulley.you can look at mine if you want.mines been on for almost 2 years and my car is fine.
p.s:i got you frpp 4.30's and install sitting in roseville

as far as the IRS goes....bushings? brace? what can i go to atleatst minimize it...
this is my DD...not a track whore. hell.....to even run it at the track faster than a 13.00 i need a 5 point cage.....so... ya.
as far as the 4.30's go....i really dont think i need that much gear.. as i said before. its my daily driver. i think 4.10's or maybe even 3.90's would do the trick.
my car has 3.55's in it...when i drive cars with 3.73's...i can feel it.
now the difference between 3.27's and say 3.90's or 4.10's would be signifigant...i think.
LIKE ASAP... I NEED:
- JLT
- OFF ROAD X
- LOWERED
- SHIFTER
with that and the gearing im looking at. i think the car will be fully capable of cutting a 13.00 with a 2.0 60'
thats just what i feel the car is capable of.... i could be wrong... but hey!

Scott with a 7200 fuel cut off you know as well as me your going to want some tall gears. IMO 4.30s have always been the way to go in the 4v's. I would defiantly just slap a Kenny brown IRS brace, some sub frames, Drags and LCA's and you should hook up just fine. I would after that just save for a blower then be done with it. I honestly wouldn't see putting anything smaller then a 4.10 in when cobra's like to rev ALOT. Congrats on the car. Looks good
