It's not a ton of difference, but is exactly the ratios I'd choose to swap to. I've got the same 1-2, stock 1.26 3rd and 0.89 4th. I'd definitely change to the slightly shorter 1.3 3rd and 0.93 4th if I had a chance to do it. I'd like to couple that with a torque-biasing diff, or TBD, if I could find one to fit the 3.44 R&P. I'd like 1-2 to be a little taller, but for the money Stan has in it, it's about the best a 4 speed can be with the power he has.

The trans I have is perfect for all-around. It really likes 80 plus on the highway, great for interstate cruising. But just like Stan, I've come to the conclusion that's NOT what the car is for.

If the 3.44 final is a no-go, using a 3.88 final drive with TBD could be done. That transmission would be VERY expensive, custom gears for all 4 speeds to get within spitting distance of Stan's choices.
