Very nice build. But keep thinking on the 5th gear ratio. Only you know what sort of speeds you'll be driving, but for me, with my 3.54 rear, the average cruising speed on the highways around here is 75MPH or a little higher. That equates to 2200 RPM with the .64 rear and is absolutely perfect for calm cruising. Other than that, I never use 5th gear at all. But, doing that is one my favorite driving experiences. It's relaxing, and believe it or not it is almost quiet. So keep thinking on that fifth gear ratio.
