RE: rear end gears - 5/15/2008 7:05:56 PM    jlg32281   Posts: 124 Joined: 2/1/2008 Status: offline A gear will do just that.  It will get you to the power band much quicker than stock.  Stock gears are stupid, I still don't know why Ford put such a weak gear in these things.  If you're staying NA, go as steep as you can. _____________________________ 98 Cobra Coupe w/ shifter and Flowmaster, FRPP B springs, Tokico blues (in reply to 99 cobra vert) Post #: 6
