That all depends on how well you can hook up. It's very possible for your 0-60 to go up as you just sit there spinning. The launch becomes more and more difficult with higher gear ratio's. If you are using slicks you might be thinking, no problem. Well keep in mind that the gear ratio multiplies torque, that's what makes you accelerate faster, but it will also increase the stresses on the half-shafts and u-joints.

Muscle Mustangs and fast fords, I know, terrible magazine, but did make a very good point, they said the difference between 3.55's and 3.73 is CRAZY fun. So I suggest, just stick with a set of 3.73's, and an aluminum driveshaft, and you will be sure to drop ur 60' time.
