Killed a 96-98 Cobra, an 01 GT and got stomped by a Fox.

There is a difference between a BONE STOCK CAR and a BONE STOCK MOTOR.

My motor is BONE STOCK from the Throttle Body down to the oil pan. The intake has never been removed.

It is really simple, you know what I am talking about, don't get all technical because I have pulleys.

Skyman:

I will have 4.56 gears and a built-rear on Tuesday. I will also have a custom dynotune on Wednesday. I will post some before and after numbers. My car has never been dynoed before.

The reason 4.30+ gears work so well on the Cobra is because Peak HP is at 6100 rpms and there is NO torque down low. We need all the gear we can stand to keep the rpms up between shifts and stay in the powerband. We also shift at 7000 rpms.

Once I get my 11.99 timeslip on this stock motor. I will be shipping the entire motor to Houston Performance for complete rebuild to include, 11:5:1 Compression, Maximum Ported stock heads, and lopey-azz custom regrinded cams. Then I will top it off with a new HCI Intake when they finally come to market. Peak HP will be above 7000 rpms and I will step up the gears to 5.13. Should be interesting!!!
