All i know is gears are going to happen soon! Even though it was a 96 gt with 309rwhp it pulled. Ill definitley go 4.10 or possibly 3.73: seems alot of people run 4.10 on 96-98 cobras?
Went for a ride with 4.10

309rwhp is a touch more than most full bolt on 96-98 cobras make lol I'm sure it felt even better with the 4.10s
Installed 4.56's last weekend. Mine makes 300 wheel.
I'm. Telling. You....
4.30's AT LEAST.

if you could give some 5th gear real world pull feedback that would be killer
4.30s worked just fine for the road course.
Most would disagree but that is why they call it opinions.
What do you want to know?
I can't tell you about 4.56 but with 4.30s 5th is just another gear and very useable.
All gears pull GREAT with 4.56's.
And it is NOT too much gear on the freeway.
I drive mine everywhere. No hesitation or sweat at all.

4.10 lover here. Going boost eventually so I considered that in my decision. 4.10/4.30 is the way to go.
Thanks all!
4.10 here. love every second of driving with them
I've been driving 23k miles with 4.30s on mostly the highway and a little bit of city, and I'm at 3,200rpm at 80mph. I get 250-270 miles to a full tank of gas on the highway. 220-250 in city and highway. Don't fear the gear. You will not regret 4.30s!!! Everyone just gets it in your head that omg thats such a small gear, but in reality these motors love to rev.
I have 4.10s with over 500rwhp and I love them.
Anyone here put 4.10 or higher on their DD and hated them?
I was seriously thinking about putting 4.10 but the previous owner of my car told me he used to have 3.73 and hated them, it was too "racey" and was getting bad gas mileage, so he ended up putting 3.55 instead (gas mileage is not a HUGE concern but I barely get 17mpg and I don't really want to have much less than that).
Putting new gears is pretty expensive so I want to make sure
(I am 99% using my car as a DD with the VERY occasional auto-x)
