Default What ratio should I choose?
I am a bit of a newbie to all of this having just bought a Cobra replicar and I love it! One thing though, I find first gear very low in city driving, usually going from 1st to third or second to fourth. On the highway I am looking for fifth at 60 mph (3000 RPM).

This car is a 429 CobraJet with top loader 4 spd, a 9 inch Ford rear end and 3:50 ratio. I have the car in the shop for a number of things right now and am considering changing to a more accomodating ratio ... any suggestions?

Thanks guys,
Greg.
