your hell on the introducing thing zig.....


to answer your question, since you have a 4v, and your rev limit is higher than the GT's, i would say 4.10 if you do some highway driving, or 4.30 if your mainly stop and go type of thing.

me personally, i would go with 4.30's in a cobra

if you get nos better get a cam with it too, get the most out of it. Get 4.30 since you have a cobra too.

ZEX is a good starter kit but there are more powerfull kits out there. But if you have never used nitrous before zex is eay to install and use so its a good starter kit for most people. Any wet kit really would be good, you got compucar,nx,nos,zex,ny-trex,dynotune nitrous kits,nitrous works etc.... are all good kits.

If you're doin' the rebuild get some forged internals while you're at it, if it's financially feasible...

well forged internals will keep you from having to have your engine rebuilt again...Get a more aggressive cam and some better flowing heads and you will get alot better gains.
