jmorganw IMHO, if absoulute "correctness" isn't an issue with you and you are concerned about the noise of running a BB at highway speeds, then I agree with Flyin Freddie. A TKO 600 coupled with a 3.31 or 3.46 final drive and a .82 5th gear, will give you some long legs in 1st and 2nd, making for some nice, plant your eyeballs to the back of your skull, hole shots and a nice workable rpm at highway speeds. You can work through the numbers and all the variables at www.secondstrike.com/Technical/GearCalc.asp or www.368s.com and use the RPM Tool. Great stuff to help you figure out the combination that works best for you.

All thing considered, you can put together a pretty good argument that the 427 Cobra is the ultimate performance car, judged on any basis you want to name."
