holy should use the search function Batman!

1st post I see...so what ya got? pics...introduce yourself maybe?

welcome aboard!

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

YoungGun'98 · 08-02-2007, 08:08 PM

yeah i figured i would get 4.30's seems how im never on the highway... pretty good SOTP change with 4.30's huh? and how about some spray with a zex system?

what would you recommend then? my motor is getting rebuilt, and im probably gonna go with 4.30's... or should i get nos and get like 4.10's?

jeredan2003 · 08-02-2007, 09:32 PM

NOS or NX

mpt_1962 · 08-03-2007, 03:05 AM

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.

spike_africa · 08-03-2007, 07:00 AM

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.

YoungGun'98 · 08-03-2007, 07:33 AM

hey well thanks alot guys! i probably wouldve ended up with 3.90's or 3.73's if you guys hadnt said anything... thank god i didnt, at least now i cant say i wish i would have gotten more gear

and as for nos ive got a while to think about it... thanks

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

yeah thats part of the plan...will i see better performance with forged internals? or just more reliability?

White04GT · 08-03-2007, 04:22 PM

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.

mpt_1962 · 08-03-2007, 08:03 PM

exactly...heads and cams with the forged internals...
