    You won't be happy with a 4:60. Need something more like a 3:73 or lower.:)

    I ran a locked 4.62 for far too long ... you will get tired of it.
    Big stupid fun at the track,...
    miserable on the street... no traction, no top speed, no gas mileage (5-6 mpg, really!) ...

    Our cars are light enough that a huge gear can easily get to be overkill. I just swapped to a 3:55 and I will bet I run about the same ETs with better finish line mph. Much better street manners and gas mileage too. Most guys here seem to like these and 3:80s (2 common 8 inch ratios).
