I know it was suggested to me to get an 8 inch. And plus I got the tranny and stall when I had 350ci. But people tell me I should have gotten a 10 inch. But hey it seems to work fine with my set-up. So if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Im not saying cars cant pull the wheels on the street, my friends camaro dose it all the time at the street races. Im saying that i dont belive a cobra with IRS can, that mean Independent rear suspension. I would belive it if the cobra had a solid rear end. unit213 said it had IRS.

That's the one I was referring to Gray. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Mr. caller guy - Don't call on me. You honestly think one of the street racing moderators is going to post some BS about street racing?
