That should make for a better launch...with an extra gear for the highway too. Is that a 2.83 first gear?

I really dig your car

I assume that is the 2 1/2" exhaust system?

Thanks guys. The exhaust is I believe a flowmaster 2 1/2" kit. It was on the car when we got it.

First gear in the Richmond is 3.06. Jegs had it underpriced a couple months ago so I pulled the trigger. It showed up tuesday. It drives nice, I was worried about the gap between first and second, but it's not bad at all. Shifting is tight, but I've read that it will loosen up after being broken in.
