awesome news bud. Make sure it has had the Cooling system upgrade via Ford TSB. 96's came with a subpar Cooling system.

Other than that...just be ready to have alot of fun. First off get some 4.10 MINIMUM...if you never plan on going FI get 4.30's.

These DOHC are a completely different animal then the 2V counterparts. They love to rev.

Congrats again

Cobra shall have 4.30s. No less, because you have the higher revs.

LOL no...im gonna chip it first, it already has flowmaster exhaust on it.

Im probably going to put a Chip in it then an X-Pipe, and we will go from there. Probably going to go with 3.73's or something like that. Man is that car SOO nice though.

NO NO NO NO NO! Way too low for that car. MINIMUM go 4.10s. Even on 2v people say 4.10 and we rev lower.
