Not Ranked
In the Cobra, you can get by with more hp and torque compared to the tanny rating due to the inability of the Cobra to take full advantage of all the hp and rorque available. Try and do it in the lower gears and you just spin your wheels. Unless you abuse and pop the clutch, you will virtually not be able to convert full your engine torque to the clutch. Once you are rolling, the peak load is not as critical.
I plan, however, to install a TKO II to insure with its additonal capacity acting as a measure of reserve as insurance to avoid problems. I also like the less tall step from 4th to 5th gear. For street purposes, you can go to 5th gear at a lower mph at a street drivable speed instead of a freeway speed. If you want to race, it is bettter for road racing. You limit your top speed but you are able to use 5th gear more. You have an advantage on curvey courses.
