How fast do you want to be able to cruise on the freeway?

I am only cruising at like 60-70. Nothing higher, cops flood the area.

I think you can take your pick at this point. 3.55's will still be ok on the freeway at those speeds while providing a significant performance gain in town, while 3.25's would get better mileage on the freeway at the cost ofin-town performance.

From 2.75 to 3.25 will the increase be a noticable differnce in 0-60?

I'm thinking that the 351 will be able to pull the 3.25 for good starts, and you still get some of the mileage. That's what I got and I have NO problem getting the tires going just by stomping the gas.
