[QUOTE="na svt, post: 12632662, member: 35346"] I haven't seen a 96-98 Cobra be quick without 4.56 gears and some weightloss. The reason for this is due to the terrible midrange power of the B heads. What's needed is a short runner, 4.56s and shift at 7000. 4.10s and 4.30s will result in slower ETs, especially when combined with a T56 that as the Cobra 1st gear. Fearing the gear will result in high ETs. Why do you have a trap speed requirement? What's more important, getting to the traps as quick as possible or with a high MPH? You don't have broad enough powerband to allow 4.10s or 4.30s to be close to optimum. Are you basing your gear seletion on one 13 hour drive? There are much better springs for drag racing than the Bs. The stock rears cut one coil and 4cyl fox springs work great and allow for a helluva lot more weight transfer. I know of cars cutting 1.40s with with this setup. Coil overs are by far the best front spring option but some don't like them for street driving. Lightwheight wheels and sticky tires can knock off 3-4 tenths, the lighter the better. Losing the stock struts also does wonders and strange 10 ways are inexpensiive and work great. [/QUOTE]
