OK don't everyone scream at once. I have a 98 Cobra - tube headers, X-pipe, Star Clutch, pully's. Shows 281 at the wheels on the dyno. I have 3.27 gears. I want to go to 3.55 or 3.73. I drive highway a lot. Can anyone give me the difference (rpm) between the gear ratio's at 60 and 80 mph? I have stock Cobra wheels and 245/45 - 17 tires. I would really appreciate as I have to make a decision soon. I realize many people use 4.10's and higher but I really think for where i am and what I do 3.55 or 3.73 would be better. Much appreciate.
