My car started out with a T10 super (4 speed) with a 3.54 final. It would practically crawl walls if you could get traction, but wasn't really comfortable above 65 mph for extended trips (like across town).

My current setup is a Doug Nash (Richmond) 5 speed (3.27 first gear, 1:1 fifth gear) and a 3.08 final which is a decent compromise. I would like a slightly lower rear end gear, but it works pretty well.

Now, adding a sixth (overdrive gear) to the box, and maybe a 3.27 final drive would be the bees knees !
