Only the cobras came with 3.55:1 gears. The compression ratio stayed the same from 96-98 to 99-04. The PI engine has a smaller combustion chamber but deeper dished pistons. That is why you get increased compression when you put PI heads on a non PI engine.

It's not that difficult...
99-04GT's & 99,01 Cobras all had 3.27's
03,04 Machs & Cobras had 3.55's,
as well as 05+ GT's

RE: WTF? ANy truth in this?
Old debate that came up because people misread stuff to begin with. 00 to 04 COBRAS' came with 3.55 gears as did the MACH1. 99 Cobra had 3.27. In 98 or 99Mustang V6 had 3.08 with a 3.27 as an option. That lasted all of a year (if that) as 00 and up came with 3.27 only. GT's had 3.27 from 99 up. (don't know about 94-98)
I have yet to see a 03-04 cobra come with anything less than 3.55. It may be true that older Cobras had 3.55 as an option, but I have yet to see one or hear of one with something less than 3.55 00 or newer.
