Dwhite, you're at the other end of the extreme, very tall gear setup - even with 25 1/4" wheels. I don't imagine that you use all that 400 rwhp in 5th, nor ever intended. Simple math, if 80 mph = 2200 rpm, then if you can get that beast to 5500 rpm you're doing 200 mph lol.

jdean, makes sense - I'll be a "mostly street" guy so I'm thinking the 3.27 will be right in the sweet spot.

Wbulk, yeah - the cost is substantial, more than I originally planned for, but the JBL comp roadster is deserving lol. Good input on the cams, I'll check with George, need to know where the engine cleans up. As far as 1st versus 2nd goes, would rather have a useful 1st - even at 2200 with a 3.27 rear, I'm doing 18 and town is 25 so I should be ok. Didn't know the cam was that aggressive, #35-426-8 was George's selection so I'll ping him on that one.

All good comments, thanks!
