I think cleetus McFarland runs 3.42 in Leroy... and I agree, I would probably have to throw out those pants after a ride in a 2400lb car with 800+. it's a great time to be a car guy.

I have a 3.07 rear gear with a 325/19/30 rear tire and a torqueless 4.8, and it'll spin out tapping the throttle in a turn. 3.31 definitely not necessary.
