Back from the depths of mayhem and shenanigans.
Question remains, do I want to cruise at 750rpm less at 75mph and is it worth the extra grand.
Will need to decide by early October, otherwise I miss a good sale and I really need to decide this

IMO a street car needs OD or equivalent numerically low final drive or it won't be any fun to drive more than 20 minutes.
The T56 in my 77Z was hands down the best thing I ever did.

Or the lack of OD will make the car pretty noisy at highway speeds potentially forcing him to slow down and cruise in the far right. Potentially keeping him out of the eye of johnny law.

Are we talking 1250 vs 2000 rpm or 2500 vs 3250? That makes a big difference.
