When you hint of being satisfied you should always follow it up with a "for now"

I'm gazing into my crystal ball and see you spending some more on that trans very soon with 600 rwhp. Lol what's the plan for the rearend? I'm seriously reconsidering going to a built 5lug 8.8. I have to see if a certain side job is going to land in my lap. If so I will make you a good deal on my nib 4lug stuff. I will pm you later if you're interested.

I think the 55's would be perfect for you. That motor is going to have plenty of torque coming out of the hole and the 73's aren't going to make a difference. From everything I've seen the 55's should be perfect! I will let you know on the parts later this week/beginning of next.

dont fear the gear, especially if this sees any track time. you've got the parts to handle the extra rpm, might as well use em.

I had to pull my 3.73s out when I went boost. I had a 275/40 17 and 1st and 2nd gear were totally useless. Utterly pointless. I was on the rev limiter before you could say gear change. Stepped down to a 3.27 and it pulls like a beast now. Don't be skeered to drop on down there..

with the blower I think 55 will work it was a bit slouchy to me out of the hole before I started the dart build and it made 435 on 7.5-8psi . If it were turbo 3.27 would be in the car no doubt

4.30's and spin it to 10,000 rpms.... ( not my money so why the heck not?)

3.55's will be plenty fine if you stick with a 26" tire, 3.73's if you had 28" tires on it IMO
