The camshaft will make a huge difference. Most folks want a lumpy camshaft. A few want a mild RV type cam. The bigger the cam, the harder it will be to get off the line. However, there's a reason why car manufacturers offered deeper gears (higher numerically) as performance options back in the day.
But report back after you've had some time behind the wheel. I have a 3.42 differential and it's perfect. Although I think Kirkham offers 3.54 as standard nowadays. |
