ok i might be able to bring the power band back enough so it isn't to laggy off the line. I wouldn't mind a nice kick of power though

Theoretically, fuel economy around town should improve with higher diff ratios.

It's the retune of your computer that is the tricky part.

that cam is too big if you dont wanna screw around with high stall and aftermarket chip/ecu
You are really going to be limited unless you change diff ratios, add high stall, and aftermarket chip because auto's dont like lack of vacuum |

Do you want a fast car, or a car that pulls a nice number on a dyno?

If its set up right you can have both,but torque is more important than outright hp in drag racing.
 The bar has been raised in the last few years with kw readings everywhere.When i built my na x flow motor i wanted 200 bhp but got 197 at the tyres so thats pretty close but far enough away to make me get sad to this day.  I think that it isnt a good idea to have hp or kw figures in your head when doing mods because you are almost always disappointed.Unless you just throw cash at it hand over fist till you get what you want.
