Smile T-5

Hi,
The TKO-500 or TKO-600 will usually fit most Cobra chassis'. If you're running street tires (not street slicks or drag radials) the T-5 will be fine unless you're powershifting. Be nice to the T-5 and it should be fine. If you want to upgrade to a TKO, that is easy to upgrade and everything is in stock.
