hey there, i'm thinking of changing my stock 327's and was hoping to get some advice on the best set up for weekend use... I hate the fact that i have to drop down to 3rd gear on the highway when i feel a threat coming on....
thoughts appreciated

4.10s or higher, depending on your application/use/modifications (it may be helpful to list your model year car and its mods).

I would also suggest running a "keyword" search for "gears" via the search feature. You'll find numerous threads discussing all the pros/cons to the popular gear ratio choices...enjoy.

i wouldn't go lower than a set of 373's. I have stock gears so I know what you mean by the long ass gears. i can put up with the stock gears because im just keeping my cobra in stock form.
