My engine is doing 4000 rpm at 80mph.
One option is for me to get a 3.07 ratio differential if I can find one or get the gears and do the changing myself, or wait for some interesting gearbox Paul from 5speed is putting together. The later option would be best, since it would allow for a high top speed. Reaching over 150mph on some lonely Autopista is not uncommon. Not possible with the Cobra as it is geared now. Which speed do you achieve at 6000rpm in 4th with your gearing? And in 5th ?
So you are moving your Cobra to the Costa Brava! Platja D'Aro is very close to Begur, have friends there.
You will enjoy the roads there, especially up the Pirenees and in southern France.
Let me know when you are there; Maybe there is a chance for a small Cobra meeting.
