I'm considering a 6-speed swap in our 96 Cobra as well as a change to 4:10 gears. Can anybody tell me what difference, if any, there is in the final drive ratio of the Cobra 6-speed versus the stock 5-speed. Also, forgive the stupid question, what model of tranny is in the 96?

The T56 has a much taller first gear than a T45, so 4.10's would put you at about the same final ratio as your stock tranny and rear. Here's a cgi script that will let you compare different transmission/rear combos: http://www.svtoa-atlanta.org/cgi-bin/trans.cgi
You might want to consider the Viper T56 instead of the Cobra T56. It has a .5:1 6th gear, so you can run a steeper rear and still maintain reasonable engine rpms on the highway.
If you're looking for pricing, D & D Performance is the best place I found for one-stop shopping on transmissions and conversion kits: http://www.ddperformance.com
This is the man to listen too....I learned a lot of what I know from him. I went with the Viper T56 after comparing the figures on his chart he gave me.
If I haven't said so yet, thanks a million DirtySanchez, for all the info you gave me several months back.
