Tony,

I'd really carefully re-think your gear ratio choice. The comments above regarding a very light car and BB torque are quite accurate. I'm running a 3:31 Jag, with a toploader, and still have difficulty getting it to hook up in first and second.

Your times are likely to be slower with the lower ratio.

BTW my problem was a stuck T-stat (now changed) and all is well.
