Re: TH400 + 3.08 Gears; Motor and Tire size?

@Molberg - Fair enough. To elaborate a bit - the "launch" is exactly what I am worried about. This is a DD so I thought the 3.08 was the way to go (for mpg) - but maybe that was a bad choice? I don't need it to snap my neck from a stop sign, but it does need to get moving quickly and be able to chirp the tires for the fun factor.

I'm worried I'll put in a 6k motor with high torque on the low end and simply be wasting it with the rear 3.08. Perhaps a stock 350 Goodwrench engine is the way to go...
