I see what you are saying Ecky, but a Corvette has more torque than my Ranger. Even with the really tall rear gear it has no problem getting up and moving from a dead stop. I'm assuming that it's lower gears are rather short and with 8 gears to go through, the transition from short lower gears to really tall FD must be mechanically easy.

I only have a couple of gears before I make the jump to 1:1 and then to FD. I really want the 3.27, but I guess it's fear of the unknown and the cost involved to find out if it was a bad idea. But the flipside to that argument is going with the 3.45 and finding out I would have been fine with the 3.27 and pining about having to pay for the same swap all over again.

Now my head hurts too.
