I have a 97 Cobra...I'm pretty sure they came with 3.27 stock. I put 3.55 in there but really cant feel the difference I wanna feel. My question is if I go with another gear which one should I go with to feel that real power.. I heard 3.73 really mesh well with the SN95s..Thanks alot...

I think you should go with 4.10's, but 3.73's would be a good choice.

I have never seen a mustang with 4.10s..But do they have a lot of pull to them? I really want to open her up, I just wanna feel the power...any other suggestions?

Well if you went from 3.27s to 3.55s and didnt feel it, what makes you think 3.73s would feel much different from 3.55s


Get 4.10s, my new car has 3.90s and my old one had stock but everything feels faster just cause its a stick hah

If you have a stick and do mostly in town driving, than 4:10's might be alright. From what I have mostly seen effective on a stick car, 3:73's would be themost efficient forall around driving. I have an 01"GT with an automatic, and have Ford Motorsport4:10's. The automatic has overdrive as you know, so it really does not hurt my overall driving too much. If I took the gearing to the next step up, my car would not drive too well all around (city/highway). It is just my opnion, but I would say not to go higher than 3:73's for a stick car.

Good Luck, Dave
