I had originally ordered the 3.54 gear. One of the guys in the local club had the same car and strongly advised going to the 3.31. I spread sheeted the combos heavily and they both looked ok to me. His experience trumped my inexperience.

I have the same box (.64) with 3.42 rear just over 2200 rpm at 76 mph. works well here where speed limit on the interstate is 75.

That's a very well thought out build. Out there in Texas I think you can get away with the 3.31 and the .64 TKO. I have the 3.54 and it works very nicely for freeway cruising away from the big city. Just make sure that whatever speed it is you're thinking of cruising at, say 75 MPH, that you check with Brent and he confirms that your cam doesn't hiccup at the corresponding RPM. It sounds like you're going for more of a milder 482 build, so I doubt you'll have any problem.
