I thought about that, but I could use some more power, maily for passing. I's also considering getting a 5-speed gearbox ($800-$850 down here) and a slower diff. This will allow me to have about the same top speed (100 MPH) with a wider option of gear to pass and take off....

What do you think about this other option?
