Wink The 514 is a brute..!

With gobs of off-the-line torque ! You should be running a 3.00 or higher gear in my opinion...3400 seems excessive rpms to me at freeway speed.

I chose the Richmond over drive 6 speed and 3.00 gears...probably won't have a lot of use for the 6th gear, but off the line torque is not something I am worried about with the 514

Was over at Car and Driver reading articles, thought this might be of interest...keep in mind that your Cobra will have MUCH higher HP to weight ratio..meaning anything said about the Viper's power in this article goes double for your cobra!
