Your car is a 4 speed also - don't need all the bottom end grunt and 2 - "peakier" torque curve matters less with the extra gear.

You are right.And that's why I posted this question.
I tend to be very conservative.
After talking to "Ace" today on the phone I am leaning towards the 60242.Before posting this question I was thinking that my RPM range would be too high with the 60242 or 60916 grinds.I also talked to someone else who is running the 60916 in a 400 similar to mine and he said the power is done in the low 5000's.So I'm glad I posted this question.I was kind of on the fence on this one.
Thanks all who replied so far.
