do they make k members for the swap or is a one off?

why didn't you go with a little bit more of a gear?

Probably gonna have one hell of a time launching a 2600 lb car with that much torque on a 3:08. More gear would exacerbate the issue.

i figured he would try to get a lit more out of his rpm range by going to a 3.42. i understand the 2600lb i thought going to just a slight steeper gear would make an improved difference. the big cam is already helping with traction i'm sure...i was just stating a different preference. with a 3.08 there is more ET left; with a slightly steeper gear you would at least get more out of your rpm before crossing the traps. i know it's not a track car so i was just wondering when chosing a gear it wasn't a little steeper...

The gearing really suits it now, i changed from a 3.45 stock ratio as 1st was next to useless..

I have not run the new set up with the ITB's, but heres a little clip of it with the old ported Fast.
