Let your builder know that you would like it to be well-mannered in the lower RPM range and you'll do fine. You might also consider the 3.54 rear (which is what I have). A higher numerical number for your rear allows you to go
slower with a higher RPM and your slow take offs from the stop light are less likely to suffer from "hiccups and burps." You don't read about that too often here, but for a street car it can make a difference. I also chose the .64 fifth gear in my TKO to mate with that 3.54 and it gives me hiway revs in the low 2000's. That's perfect for leisurely cruising -- not racing, mind you -- leisurely cruising.
