Gears for a 97 cobra... if you go as high as 4.10 do you lose some top end speed, and does it kill your gas mileage? and what is involved in istalling them, like dont you have to get your speedometer recalibrated?

 

yea it lowers your top speed, idk about gas mileage but i drove in my friends 94 cobra with 456's. when were cruising at 60mph the sppedo says were doing 110 so it definatly does. his car tops at around 90 miles an hour so he lost quite a bit top end.

 

I HAVE 4.10 GEARS IN MY COBRA NOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE GOTING 3.73S BECAUSE I ALWATS GO ON LONG TRIPS RPMS ARE TO HIGH AT 3000 RPMS IM GOING 82 MPH MY FUEL MILEAGE WILL BE LESS TO BUT IF YOU WANT SOME 4.30 GEARS I HAVE SOME FOR SALE MOTOR SPORT BRAND PRIV.

I have a 97 mustang cobra, supercharger and all, and i have 4.11 gears and i think they are great. Gives you a lot more low end and with 5th gear on a 5 speed mustang, which is set like at .67, i do not lose much high end speed.

 

4.56's dont top out at 90 ive seen a car in a magazine with 4.88's and he hits 109 in the quarter so...

 

4.10's(should) make you have a higher top speed because it can reasonably reach higher rpms with an "easier to wind" gear

 

yea it could prob. top out higher if you wind the **** out of it

 

You'll be fine with a set of 4:10s Your top end won't be affacted unless you plan on goin 170. All you need to correct your speedo is a speedo gear. Who ever you buy the gears off of should have the gear. The gear is simple to change. It's one little bolt on the side of the tranny.</P>

 

Ide go 3:73`s... 4.10`s are kinde steep and u will loose top speed. Aslo at higher speed i herd that u will have drivetraine vibration with 4.10 gears.

 

Unless u get an aluminum drive shaft....
