Wouldn't a tune to lower your shift points be a better option?

I HATE my 2.73's.
I cant even get into 2nd gear with out goin 10 over the speed limit. 2nd gear tops out at 100, and 3rd tops out at 160+.......I personally cant wait till I get 3.73's....

another advantage of really low gears like 2.73 or 3.08's, is its kinda spreads the power out more, so if you car has violent wheelspeed off the line, and you cant hook, throw in a set of 3.08's and it'll grab harder, and use the big torque throughout the gear.......if yopu get what I am saying

If you want better gas mileage, ditch the muscle car and buy a Prius

Try something like this link has. Or maybe see if you get an 6 speed auto to fit.
