The MS3 idles like a bad ***, then backs it up all the way to 6800rpm.
sounds cool, thanks for the info

I don't really know anything about gears, I'll definitely consider 4.10's, thanks

What difference do they make driving on streets?

If you roadrace, go with Lower Control Arms, and Sub-Frame Connectors first. Will improve handling tremendously. I know SFC's aren't more than a couple hundred bucks, but I have no idea on the LCA's. After that, I'd go with a cam kit from a sponsor to the right, and some used (or new, if you can find em cheap enough) long-tubes.
