Both statements above are good. But if you change the rear end make sure you look at your axels and get the correct spline count.
I am running 3:27s in my car and love them, but I have quite a bit more power and torque than you do. Only problem I have is I picked the wrong transmission split for 5th gear. I went with the .6 and should have gotten the .8 as all my 5th is good for is crusing down the freeway. I can't break through that wall of air in 5th to even get close to my power band with my split, as it effectively brings my gear ratio to 2:10s, which as stated above are Bonneville type high speed gears. I tach 1900 RPM at 70 in 5th. Crap, if I could get to my power band in 5th I would be over 200 MPH and that wall of air would blow every huose within 50 feet of the road over.
But I also have no problem burning both tires in any gear except 5th. I don't do much of that though and then mostly by accident.
