Naumoff:
I had a 4:11 in my Chevelle w/ 454 and switched it to a 4:56 later on (even thought about a 4:88). Car was strictly for 1/4 mile use, or "light to light" on the street. Never took it on the highway. It would have sounded like a Singer sewing machine! But......that was a heavy car. Got off the line in a HURRY with that 4:56 though!
I have a 3:73 in my SPF w/ a 427SO and TKO trans w/ .68 5th. The .68 5th is great for the highway but I find myself "in between" 4th & 5th a lot on the "street". I think the 3:73 is too much for these light little cars. 1st gear is totally useless and 2nd isn't much better when you're "on it". Unless you're feathering the go pedal, you'll hit the rev limiter (and I DO recommend you get one!) in 1st gear before you can blink. Depending on what trans you go with, I would opt for something in the 3:08 to 3:54 range. I'm hoping to exchange my TKO for a new TKO600 trans (much better 1st gear ratio) and change my 3:73 for something in the 3:50's or maybe even the 3:20's.
