According to this gear calculator, with a 4.08 rear end, a 5AT will be doing 69mph @ 3000rpm in 5th gear.. Ouch, I'm certainly going deaf cruising on the highway (4300@100mph )

Doesn't make much sense to me, if I'm going through the hassle I'm doing it right.. and that's 4.08 my friend

I threw the 3.9 gear out there as a kind of best of both worlds compromise. The 4.08 will obviously be better from a pure performance standpoint. If Betty wasn't a DD, I'd seriously consider the 4.08. Hell, I may do it anyway depending on NBS's feedback after he's had some time to give us a review.

NBS, think you can get multiple "before" runs of your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (enough data to get a good average) as well as highway MPG in a controlled environment (maybe the exact some stretch of road with cruise set at a certain speed) so that you'll have objective data to compare after the swap? Some good reliable data will be excellent. You can validate the gains by averaging the same number of 0-60, 1/4 mile, and MPG runs after the swap to have objective data.
