Can you not swap transmission ratios like you can in a rear end?
Uh, no... the counter shaft gear is a solid set, so you are stuck with the OD ratio set or the straight box ratio set... if you're going to blow the $$$ on the Gear Vendor set, you might as well go T-5 conversion at this point.

Refresh my memory, what excactly is the T5 again?

Matt,

You forgot to include recurving your distributor on the engine build. It makes a huge difference even on a stock motor.

I drive on allot of hilly back country roads every day to work and back. The Edelbrock IAS shocks are the best if your pushing it. They are amazing....I didn't think a shock could make that much difference.

I am running the biggest Hellwig bar on the front.
Also .892 V8 torsion bars on the front and 6 leaf rears.

P215 60's on the front and P235 or P225 60's on the rear, BF Goodrich T/A radials, on 7" rims. They track like a cat. Great in the snow.....and ice. :D
I'm not even sure what the heck recurving the distributor involves. I tried to read the article about it, but I couldn't understand it. We haven't studied ignition in automotive class yet.

Read the 4 page .jpg manual. It is very easy to understand and would be similar to what your teacher would be using.....
