what is your tire size?
does your motor make a lot of low rpm torque? what motor will you use?
what trannie will you use? overdrive 5 speed?
is your Cobra a street car or race car?
if street, will you cruise at 70 - 80 a lot?

standard 8.8 gears are 3:08, 3:27, 3:55, 3:73

I have 25 1/4" tires, TKO600 .64, stroked small block, lots of low end torque. I can cruise 70 mph at 2000 rpms.

you need to pick rear gears to match your driving.
