My motor has torque and I just know it would stomp all over these little buzzbombs if only it had another gear for high speed. I'm a bit of a speed case so I really miss being able to use the power when already on the highway. I've got a 3.08 ring and pinion. I'm really hoping that makes things a bit better once I get around to swapping it.

I hear you on that one ! I have 3:55 gears and a 4 speed and I constantly wish I had a 5th Gear to BANG ! If and when I get a 5-speed, I'll probably wish I had a 6th gear to hit too. What's next? A 7-speed
