Include 60 footers etc. There are people here who have much experience at the drags and much experience with the 4.0. Depending on your results will dictate where to spend coin. If your getting ok MPH but crap 60 footers , spend the money on making it launch better. If you get crap MPH but ok 60 footers go chasing horsepower. A general rule of thumb I was taught when I was playing with my Fairlane all them years ago , was every tenth you drop off you 60ft time is worth 2 10ths at the top end. To just go bull at a gate chucking stuff on left right and centre is going to end in disappointment. Take it from someone who learnt the hard way. listen to what he is saying - its a good start |

Would rather not go with a manual but thanks anyway.
Engines are cheap and easy to swap the car wont be a long time commitment its like an entry level just to get into it without spending too much money. What gears do you recommend it has 3.45 in it from stock. |

This would make it get off the line beter? without reducing top speed dramatically?

You will need to put a hell of a lot of work into it to run out of speed with stock gears. 4.11 gears will be good if your keeping it n/a. If your looking at boosting it in the future maybe hang on to the standard gears or go 3.7 gears
