[5literstang]

i have a 99 cobra and i know it has 3.27's stock, but i was wondering, it might have gears it in, i was in 5th gear at 80mph and the rpms were at 2,200, is that normal? or could it have gears? thanks =Jeff

I'd say that's a stock gear...My 02 with 4.10s runs about 2800rpm at 80.

i see...anyone else? thanks

They are stock most likely.With stock gears, you should be turning 2294rpms @ 80 mph.

Great Idea
Just remember you have to get something to fix the speedo

Check if you have a metal tag on the rear axel. It's bolten on the cover and tells you the ratio. If it's missing, you have gears.

Sometimes you need to be creative to find the answer. Go outside and do a 2nd-gear burnout from a dead stop. Come back and describe what sort of smells are present afterwards.

how about if i just make 2 marks on the driveshaft and spin the wheel 1 full rotation and count how many times the driveshaft turns. would that work?

Yes, but that would be way to easy.

Yes sir.....If you were above 2500rpm then I would say you would have something different than stock, but from a guy who's had a 3.73 and 4.10, you don't.

 

[5literstang]

well the next mod is goin to be gears cuz i heard that the DOHC's love to rev high, so i guess 4.10's would be best?

 

[GTvert01]

yep, 4.10s, then you will need either
A)speed cal
B)Programmer
C)Reflashed cpu
