We have the same trannies.. I am trying to talk my buddy into getting gears.. I personally think he would ride the "F" out with gears.. How much are they for the 03 Cobra's and what would he need to change the pcm's calibration? On LS1's 4.10's alone will get you mid 12's with drag radials. Thats if he/she is a good driver.. I would think gears would put the 03 Cobra right at 12 flat or high 11's with drag radials and exhaust work.. What do you guys think?
