To give you a little background: I have an 03 Cobra with 8k miles and the rear differential is leaking and it's gonna cost me about $300 dollars after it's all said and done to get a new cover up there and seal it ($215 LPW cover, $45 in gear oil, and $65 for install)...However, my thought is I have an 02GT which is my beater car now and I would love to eventually put an SRA into the Cobra (for both weight and launching/no wheel hop).
So, my first question is how much do you think I would look to spend at beefing up my GT SRA if I'm going to eventually shoot for 600 rwhp? (KB 2.6 @ 15-17lbs)...Just so you know I want to obviously go the cheapest route, but only have to do it once and don't want or need a ton of overkill. I'm not going to be going to the drag strip really and even if I do I'm not going to be doing 4K-6K launches. Mainly a street car to have fun in.
Just not sure at what figure I'm looking at since I already have an SRA and don't know what I can get by with transferring over to the cobra and what HAS to be upgraded, of course axles, but to be honest that's the only thing I know that would have to be upgraded, however I know there is probably a laundry list of things I would have to change. Have 4.10s in the GT and stock 3.55s in the cobra and want to keep 3.55s in the cobra if/when I get the SRA. Can the gears be transfered or do they develop a certain "wear pattern" and are unusable after they have been in another car? What would be some reasonalbe estimates for the install as well?
