I don't like the idea that my 4th gear would end at 120 mph. If the car was mostly a 1/4 mile car, and I was stopping after the heads/intake then it would be perfect, but I'm not done modding yet. The nitrous will be going back on the car, it's just going to be a while until I can get the fuel system upgraded.

Also, I don't want to have traction issues on the street, which I think would be an issue with an overly steep 1st gear setup, along with a mild stall (plus spray down the road).

Price was originally an issue when the 3.73's first came out as well. I'm not sure if they have come down since, but I remember people were paying like $1700 or something outlandish for the parts.
