Default 1996 cobra gears 3.73 vs 4.10
I have a 1996 cobra and I want to get steeper gears I don't know which ones I should choose. I don't want to sacrifice gas milage or top end alot.

The 4v love gears. Most early 4v guys delete the IMRC's and go 4.30's or 4.56.
You can still get good Hwy milage with a steep gear. City milage will take the big hit
and who gives a crap about top end. How often do you go 150 mph?

Another vote for 3.90s or 4.10s!
