Some of the early cars had a 3:73 rear end, but I think that was when they used the T-Bird rear end. Eric, you can go recalculate your ratios.

Yup. I was reminded of that earlier today when I pegged the rev limiter a couple times. 3.73:1 gear + happy SB = high revs very quickly.

I know what you mean Dean! Do you keep your eye on the road or the tach? 
It reminds me of the famous line "Well, do you feel lucky punk? Well do you?"

Huh...
I thought for sure it was a 3:55. But it isn't really right compared to the calculator anyway.
I will be under the car this week checking a few things out, and will see what the ratio is.
KC builds a really nice motor, lots of power!

BigGuy,
I drove the car into work this morning, 34 degrees. Car was in the garage, but cold. The car started right up with minor feathering of the gas, and drove right down the street, no problems.
You can not beat the WOW factor when you pop the hood. I'm not kidding, the system looks sick.
As I said before, we had tuning issues and I am still breaking in the clutch and motor with less than hard acceleration. So I am still not a good reference.
Right now, I would say that if you are close to Dynatek, I would not worry as much as someone that is 4-5 hours or more away about tuning issues, since you could roll down the street to their office.
But the choice of ECU's would be a key factor if I were buying another, and who is responsible for the tuning, with an eye towards "drivability". If I would have known I could have a FAST ECU, I would have one. The ECU I have is different, and different is a learning curve for your local dyno shop.
I will post more as I get it.
Eric
