that is not a lot of gear depending on what you are running for a motor.

ive tried several, and a 4.22 has been the fastest for me. put a 4.71 in the car and got some reaction time out of it, but no ET really. it just buzzes more rpm on the hwy. if its not big turbo or nitrous, its going to be a dog with a 3.73

edit.... 408/6000 converter
