Jason,
My engine dynoed 448 HP / 465 ft/lbs torque. I personally like the ratio. The engine doesn't come on the cam until 2500 rpm, so cruising around the 2200 mark delivers great gas mileage.
Wheel spin is bad in first with any rearend ratio in the SPF. Because the TKO 1st gear is so low, the best way to launch it (Drag Strip) is use 2nd gear. 1st gear winds up so fast you hit the rev limiter before you snatch 2nd. If I want to, I can spin all the way to 3rd before it really grips.
If you are just using the car for street, go for the 3.73. If you want to drag, go to 4.10s or lower. Your profile says you have a 460, so you have the extra torque that I don't have
Don't worry about the speedo. There is no positive cure, just live with it.

Hope this helps
Mark
