Sooo..... Now that you got your feet wet posting that other video clip on YouTube, I'm pretty sure the next step is the 'sliding sideways, sawing at the steering wheel to keep it straight while leaving a vapor trail of melted rubber' video!
I think your right Adam, the 3.08 gears will be fine with the power and torque that the 427 makes. Sooo.... The next video has popped up in my head but let me get a few break in miles on it first. I did smoke the tires in front of my cousins house Monday eve when my son and I took it out for the first time, then after the fact I called myself a dumba$$ for doing it!!! The engine and transmission had about 2 miles on it
