what rear springs are you running?
It's called "learning how to drive" lol...

I am running Eibach Sportlines in the rear...

And yeah, with 700+lbs/ft torque on tap, driver skills are REQUIRED... Especially from a dig on the streets... Anyone can bang gears in a roll race, but skill is required to launch your car from a dig, on a nonprepped surface...

Well with my car, the pedal literally doesn't touch the floor board, till 3rd gear... That way, my car is actually moving, not roasting tires... You gotta learn how to pedal your car... It's more of a discipline thing, than anything else...

Back to the question. I also have a 01 Cobra and want a little more go. Will 3.73 give me better 0-60 time and seat of pants feel?
