Thanks all!
I picked up the transmission due to the amount of power I will push down the line in a year or so, I figured I would get it now and not have to worry about it later.
1st: 2.97
2nd: 1.78
3rd: 1.30
4th: 1.00
5th: 0.80
6th: 0.63
I did a couple of speed calculations (from a website) and at 80 MPH I should be at ~1600RPM in 6th gear with my 3.31 rear. I was going to go to a 3.73 rear, but JDM told me to wait off on that to see how I like the new setup first. In theory, with these set of gears and my rear, I could go past 200 MPH - but we all know due to HP, and drag - thats not really possible unless you have close to 1000HP :P
Anyway, I picked up a Spec Billet Steel Flywheel, and a Spec Clutch Kit (Stage 2+/ 26 Spline).

I am dropping my car off on Saturday and they should be done by Thursday morning. Plus, like you, I am getting a aluminum drive shaft (came with the kit).
Crappy part is I had to get a rental under my own expense...I still need to go to work some how
Crappy part 2, looks like it may rain Thursday too...
I am returning my car to stock today in regards to the intake/tune. This should be a very interesting change... :/

yeah, the 6060 requires a shortened DS. it looks like you may have the perfect setup. don't they have a 600+whp "competition" kit for the edelbrock? you made the right choice with the 26 spline trans.

^ Everything is right there... ^
Yes it does, however some people don't agree to that statement about the DS. They have a competition kit, but that kit is just missing some parts to make it cheaper for those who want to run more than the 1580 kit itself.
