Forget the TB for now. Do gears first! They will make a big difference over the TB/plenum combo.

Gears definitely will improve your acceleration, but dont forget to readjust your speedometer.

3.90 gear is nice....if your car is low mileage all you need is a pinion nut,seal,crush sleeve,2 qt of syth oil,1- 4oz bottle of friction modiflier, tube a blue/red rv to seal the rear cover, shims
