With the cold pavement now on the street 1 & 2nd gear is worthless, 3rd gear breaks loose if you floor it above 4,000 rpm.

If the car doesn't sell the first mod will be to have the rear rims widened to 11" , spacers and get the corresponding rubber.

Blackbird, I'd keep what you have gear wise. I like the 4.11's on a stockish motor, but the traction is silly since I've added some oats to it. If the motor was a mild bolt on I'd be happy going to 4.30's. Not kidding. @ 70mph 6th gear is turning around 2,100 right now. Not bad.
If I keep the car forced induction is a MUST. I want to hear turbos spooling up. I'm going to end up with a 12 bolt and I'm going back to 3.42's.

Whoa yeah, I'd love 2 hear a twin turbo spool up on the hawk!!!!
There was a video floating around with a twin turbo firebird racing a Gsxr, man I would like to find that video again, it was kick azz. 
Check out this video. 13 psi on pump gas vs a TT Supra 22 psi with methanol.
