Whats the highest speed you can get to in first gear now? If I went with a 2.47, I'd probably get the newer tranny with the lower first gear swapped in, that way you can keep some more of the off the line acceleration. I can also hit 70mph in 3rd with the stock diff, so I wouldn't mind downshifting to 3rd to climb hills with a 2.47 diff...
