hey im new to the forum... just as the title said im lookin for some mods for my '98 cobra (shes in the shop now with the engine torn apart thanks to me) im pretty set on gears, though i dont know which ones. and im looking into a zex system... any ideas on other mods? thanks

 

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

 

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?

 

haha yeah my bad on not bein friendly...just kinda bummed on the fact of throwing a rod the other day and finding out today that its gonna be a month without my car... yeah i know theres even a gear thread, but if everybody just used the info already posted then all the threads would be dead haha

 

zex sucks....

 

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?

 

NOS or NX

 

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.

 

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?

 

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.

 

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