3800 sunfire update

I have done a lot of figuring over the winter and started working on the car again today. Not much, just getting my bearings again....LOL

I am looking for any ideas on the gearing. I have to get a new chain and sprockets to handle the extra power, so the mileage won't be too bad to start with.

Current gearing: 3.91
New chain/sprockets: 3.05 should be a huge improvement
New diff: 2.54 $1000+

Would it even be worth it to mess with the diff?
