I had the same set up as Bob, (3.73's w/ .68 OD) I changed rear gears to 3.27's and the tranny to a TKO600 with .82.... The final drive is the almost the same...60mph 2000 rpm's, but now I have a useful first gear and shifting from 4th to 5th is only a 400 rpm drop...the changes made the car much more enjoyable in traffic.
