JMHO
...actually StuzVette has that power with 4.10:1...
Its not too much...just shift sooner from 1st to 2nd...

i am not a fan of gears. if you are making good power you dont need gears. there was a guy at a local car meet with his twin turbo viper. the car runs 8's in the 1/4 mile on 2.73 gears. he pegged the dyno at 4900 rpms and 1200 rwhp. make the power first and then if you are not happy do gears.

IMO maggie low end TQ and 4:10's or 3:90's is a bad idea, and I like my low end TQ lol
