boy, i come back and i think theres 4 pages of good info...
he's kinda right, i have a procharger and 4.10's and all a good launch is a slip show on street tires...im not even out of the clutch (feathering the gas at the same time) tryin to keep wheel spin down (i have an IRS so thers hop inolved like crazy too)...and now you say you have an automatic
...just change the .67 to w/e overdrive is on your tranny for another estimate...if your building the car up then pic your gears for what you will be putting on it...in the case of F/i the 3.90 should be great...good luck

and if you're adding any real power adder, i'd personally stick with something not as steep as 4.10's.. even if 3.90's are a tad lower, I know a bunch of people that got 4.10's - added nitrous/blower/turbo - and scaled it back to a 3.73, and in some cases (blower and nitrous) a 3.55 - but it's all what you want your car to do.

RE: Next mod gears. Advice pls.
Steve, sorry for jacking your thread. In the end there still was a lot of good information given.
Street racing - I don't care how "good" of a driver you are... if you're racing - you dont have the reaction time if someone else does something that you can't control. In the end high speed street racing is stupid. That's why when I do it I shut down very early.
If ignorance is bliss you must be in heaven. Again, as of right now you're still just a bolt on GT owner, come back when you have your dyno slip and your pictures of the motor inside the car.
I still don't know why you think that a stock gt Tranny/Clutch and axle will hold that much power. If you know "so much" and are at the shop that much - either your guys dont know what the hell is goin on, you're lieing, or they're not telling you because they want you to break **** so they can make more $$. The stock GT supporting parts (10 spline clutch, 8.8 axle, and transmission (seeing how they crap out on basically stock cars) can't hold much more then 400-450rwhp on any type of driver. Well, I guess you'll find out the hard way. Nice talking to you I guess - atleast you made some valid points, unlike your asshat friend.
EDIT: Yeah I know Cobra internals really suck... they only hold 900rwhp stock
