Hi Duane:
Yes, I can see what you are saying for sure. The weight and the force to overcome that weight (light in the Cobra instance) is nullified by the greater distance that the taller gears provide. Kind of like a linear drive situation. Probable reason some of the dragsters are going to the paddle shifted automatics as well as the new paddle shift clutchless cars. Makes perfect sense.

As it stands now, being rather new to my Cobra I will say put with the current setup for about a year and during that time, as you suggest, do some due dilligence and test some variants out.

I appreciate your input and our mutual give and take. In all instances, I hope you were taking my points, not as argumentitive or pendantic but rather as yearning to gain knowledge and a point of view. I take it that is true?

This is a fun topic and in a mathematic and logic sense one should think the outcome could and should be easy and consistant. However, there are quite a few variables to deal with.

BTW, what kind of gas do you guys get out there in CA? We are blessed with two nice powerful high tests here in CT. We have the 94 octane SUNOCO and the 94 AMOCO. There are a handfull of SUNOCO stations that sell SUNOCO 101 octane racing fuel but none are within 60 miles of my home. What does you baby get to drink out there?
