even stock 243s and a retune would work well.

Fuzzy dice will be my next mod! LOL
gears, brakes, and heads (not in any specific order)
With new gears, how much would I loose on my top end?
Thanks for the suggestions

3:90 diff, would really amplify the other mods. That 400hp would feel as though you had closer to 500
