Vehicle weight ?? Stall ?? Gears ?? Usage...street/drag/autocross ??
Call up some of the Tech vendors and get some choices. EPS (Geoff Skinner)
is who I ordered from and Martin @ Tick, Texas Speed, Alan @ Futral, Brian Tooley, or Ed Curtis from Flowtech are ALL GREAT options for you.
I would imagine you'll end up with something in the 228/236 range

I'm not sure what the car will weigh when it's done . It's going to be a street/weekend 1/4 mile car . I wanted to pick out the converter after the cam and I'm going with a 4.10 gear .
