Id stick with the 3.55's and do the GM o/d upgrade.

I dont see you getting much better gas mileage unless your cruising of 90mph. I know my GTO had 3.90's and it was only at 1500rpm at around 85mph with a t56. If your just driving around town gears aren't going to help your mpg.

3.55s are perfect for our cars. In 6th you can still cruise 85 under 2500 rpms. I wouldnt change it unless you are going higher gear for racing. 3.73s would be nice, 4.10 is overkill for us.

depending on how your trans is geared, 1st gear with a 3.08 may be a bitch around town, i know a fbody with a t56 and even a 3.23 is a pain in the ass around town, and 6th gear is pretty much useless unless you're doing over 70

Mod motors love some gear. I would think the 32 valve motors would too.

Of course when you have 650 HP like Ryan, gearing becomes less important.

Hes in the 600s too. I daily drive mine also and like the 3.55s. Like i said 3.73s would probably be ok to DD also... 4.10s would be fun but not to DD on. I actually was going to go with 3.73s when i built my rear, but was too lazy. 4.10s would be a burnout fest for your car.

This. Might be able to pick up something for not much more than than the price of a gear swap. Then you can beat on your Cobra harder!

Looks like theres plenty of cobras showing up that are sitting just like i was before the kaboom. Dont lose hope, theres always that black vert at SSS you can gap.
