Get the Strange struts for the front, they are 10 position adjustable and will help you dial in your 60 foot times and then you can firm them up for street driving.

315 M/T Drag radials on a 15 by 12" wide rim, they wont fit your car. You can buy a srt of 10" wide rims with a 6" offset and put 325-50-15's.

For the rear strange also makes a set of adj. My rears are 315-60-15's, the biggest DR's they have. You should be ok with those tires, just need to work on the suspension.

i dont know much about gears, in my experience i have heard different stories, the fact is that ive seen people run hard on cobras with 4.10s and seen people run hard also with 3.27s... maybe slowwhiteshelby knows better. IMO 3.55s are perfect, maybe go up to 3.73 but never do 4.10s that will have you shifting every second since you have the 6speed.

IMO, with the power you're making Frank, the 3.55s are optimal. Not too much, not too little. Going with more gear than that will not only kill your top end but make it alot harder for you to hook at the track. I personally have 3.73s and am looking to trade for some 3.55s or 3.27s.

I was thinking In getting the gears cuz how long Is my first gear>> am crossing the 1/4 mile in 3rd gear at 125MPH due to my slow shifting too >lol. my 4Th gear goes to 158MPH now that I raised the rpms on the tune. but anyways I was just trying to get some feedback on the gears, I was reading allover the Internet and most of the people with cobras and GT500s go with the 3.73s thats why I wanted to swap them.

3.73s at the track will be good, but at the street 3.73s might be a little too agreesive, i would try 3.27s, i remember the ported blower, nitrous silver cobra running 10.5s @ 139 on 3.27s with a 1.7 sixty foot. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
