^^^ Lower gears = less traction with street tires!! ...If you have any plans for a Whipple or KB, stick with the 3.55's

No kenne belle in the near future. I was worried that with the 3.73s the boost wouldn't be there as much.

^^^...I still think you can spend your $$$ on better itmes ... IRS brace would be #1 ... from there, intake, HE Tank or perhaps a POSI Port for the Eaton!!! Even a SBTB would be nice!

from everything i've heard a irs brace is almost a must. I'm not looking for huge gains. i have more than enough power right now. I know the jlt is a great commodity for these cars

the light bar just completes verts. Should have came with them from the factory. The install isnt that horrible either.

Congrats on the car! How do you like the Hurst? My buddy was thinking about getting on for his cobra, but you never hear anything about it. I to, sold my 07 gt for my cobra!

the hurst is super nice...i hate the big freaking ball tho..i want a normal shifter *** for the handle tho...there's no comparison between the 05gt i had and this baby...my old 05 was super aggressive looking but it was nothing like the cobra's...the cobra's command respect...the only thing i really miss is the seats outta my 05 and maybe my shaker 1000...but its a small price to pay to get around 450-460rwhp...and having a vert is just icing on the cake...

Do you have any pics of it installed? Are the shifts short?

The thing I miss most about my 07 is the shifter placement and the "newer" feel of it. I'll own another new stang again one day
