Mike,

If you plan on using 3.54 gears, don't go with the Richmond. Richmond has a really low first gear and 5th gear is 1:1. If you want the Richmond, you'll want to go with a rearend in the range of 2.88 to 3.08. I'm running a Richmond with 2.88 gears and it's perfect. First gear is plently low and at 70mph in 5th gear I'm turning about 2700 rpms.

Chris
