Default 3:73 or 4:10 for daily driven car?

Don't really hit up Darlington Strip too much but love the random street races. The Cobra comes stock with 3:27. For a primary vehicle that's driven daily I think 4:10 would be too much. I am considering 3:73. I'm sure a rear tower brace would be smart but is there anything else I would need to compensate for the extra rear power. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

I agree w/ the 3.73's. Almost everyone around here will tell you to go with 4.10's. Almost every day thee is a new argument about it. If you took two stangs with same mods except one with 3.73's other with 4.10's it would be a drivers race. 4.10's have much harder time hookin up with street tires. I drive 70 miles round rip to work each day. I decided to go with the 3.73's. Most say you will want more, I won't know until I get them installed but for a DD car, I think 3.73's is plenty of gear for me. Just my $0.02

the question should be 4.10s or 4.30s, not 3.73s or 4.10s

I have 4.10`s and love em. Don`t go anything less. Once you get used to them you shouldnt have a problem hooking up. Im still running my stock tires right now and I got it down pretty good without much wheel spinning.

Have you added a rear tower brace or any suspension upgrades or is the stock Cobra capable of handling the 4:10s with no additional mods?
