regarding the gearing, you might want to consider the mph with the car in 1st and idle if you do any parading or stop n go traffic jam stuff, could be a lot of clutch work.

i like the tko600 for gear spacing, i think a 3:55 or next lower number would be a good combo imo. i have the 600 with 3.73 and smaller engine and it works pretty well. also have a 3.55 with .64 od and highway cruising is nice. these lighter cars are more forgiving with regards to gearing imo.
