My 418 has a semi-mild cam, and a 3.73 rear ratio. I went with the .64 thinking that it would be much more comfortable on the highway. It is great at 80 mph and up, but that turns out to be a very small percent of my driving. I essentially lost one gear from the 5 speed box in my normal driving. After getting used to the car, I find it much more enjoyable on secondary highways than on the interstate. One other observation - any acceleration below about 2200 rpm brings on scary levels of detonation; another reason I'm switching over to the .82.
