Gears?
This summer i was planning on getting a 3800 stall converter. It would help out my 1/4 alot but, I'm probably not going to because of all the clutch/hard part wear i'll have. Not to mention the fun time i'd have if i got stuck in the snow.
So, i'm leaning more torwards gears. I can get 3.33 gears or 3.73'*. Either way i'll have to recalibrate my speedo.
So far i have my mind set of the 3.33'* cause i'm afriad of the 3.73'* being overkill.
What do you guys think?
I'm also planning on keeping my tranny attached to my motor and dropping my subframe to get the the cover. <--- Good idea, Bad idea, impossible?
I've got a 3.06 FDR now and the company i'm getting the gears from is http://www.engineered.net/.

With 3.73 gears i'll be going 66 mph at 3000 rpms.
With 3.33 gears i'll be going 74 mph at 3000 rpms.
With 3.06 gears i'm going 80 mph.
At least according to

Either one will kill your fuel economy, so if you do a lot of highway driving, it will effect it severely... however merging on the highway will be fun, fun, fun

Overdrive just means a gear that has a ratio of lower then 1:1. These are 4 speed tranny'* with lockup however.
It'* all up to what you wanna do with it really. a raised redline will help with deep gears as well, Jim'* Aurora with a 3.71 pulls damn nicely and gets good milage.
