iwantacobra427,

The only problem with a 3.77 gear is you won't be using 1st gear either. At that point, you might as well have a 4 speed.

3.08 is too long for me. I have taken our cars with 3.42's to 165 mph at Miller Motorsports Track and it was still pulling. That is fast enough for me--maybe too fast.

Al,

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but remember we don't know everything! Far from it. We learn on these boards along with every one else.

David
