Be careful with the Street Extreme, the only difference between the 550HP and the 700HP is the disk. The 700HP doesn't have an organic side and will probably chatter more off idle. I really don't think you need it. The Cobra is a light weight car.
As far as transmissions and gearing, you can drive yourself nuts with the formula. What do you plan on doing with the car. Are you a long hauler (Highway), do you just cruise the streets? Your car is cammed like mine. I have no issues with the TKO 600. I've had both the .64 and the .82. with a 27" tire. My motor is cammed like yours also. If I had one complaint it would be the large rpm drop of the .64, but 2200 rpms on the highway was quiet. .73 would have been ideal. I'm more concerned about my gearing for the autocross ( I run tight courses in my area, and will try 3.55 rear gears. So, you see what I mean, it really depends on what your going to do with your car.
