Why not split the difference and go to 3.90's? I plan to go that rout in the spring. :steering:

Drove on my favorite section of twisty mountain yesterday, and I have decided that 4:10s are the way to go. More usable 2,3,and 4 gears. Also good for road racing. I dunno about 1st on the street. Might have to go for the 335/18 BFG drag radials. :crazy:
