Although apples to oranges in comparison I went with the 2.87 1st and the .68 OD with a 3.23 rear gear 70mpg right around 2000 rpm and its responsive from this speed when you get on it, First gear to me anyways seems a little short so I could only imagine with the 3.27 first it would be over in a blink of an eye when into the gas, normal driving its fine but with a 3.08 rear gear it would probably be a good fit well worth the expense either way
