Here's a link to the Corral gear ratio calc. http://www.corral.net/tech/gearcalc.html

There difference won't be that substatial, at least not justifying the swap again. I have 4.10s and wouldn't put anything else. Should be spinfest with the blower, but just gotta feather it.

At 80 mph with 3.73s and you're tire combo in 5th you would be turning 2666 rpms.

I have 4.30s and my mpg on the highway is still excellent. The rpms aren't that bad for 80 in all honesty...

Yes, I have stock internals. I will be running a 8lb pulley with powerpipe so I should see 8-9lbs after the IC. I ran nitrous on this motor earlier so I really dont want to push my luck. When I did my compression test I got 185-215 for all of them.

So l/ts do have a tendency to draw oil. I have specifically heard about MACs doing it.

How much oil does it use? Mine uses about 1/4 qt every 3000 miles.

From a launch 4.10s and a blower are a total PITA. See my Sig.

But from a roll, exciting as Hell. Just got to be carefull of the DEAMON Rev LIMITER. Fuel shut down at 7K is a real MFr. Can't seem to over power the default REV LIMITER on the 99, have not seen anyelse that has done it either, even with the TWEECER.

I am torn between the fun on the street with 4.10s from a roll verses the PITA launching this beast on the street or at the track. Add the IRS pain into that launch equation too.

If I had to do it all over again, I would go 4.10s for NA and probably 3.55s for my car now.

12.8 lbs of boost....numbers in sig.
Just put in the solid axle and 4.30 gears. First won't be that bad for me as the Viper T56 has a 2.66 first gear ratio.

Sticky tires will solve all traction problems.
