Shorter gears = faster accleration, traction limited. I would definately recommend you consider getting a more aggressive geared tranny for your setup. Hell, a B16A tranny on your stock LS motor would have probably made it faster, higher highway RPM's and increased wear on the motor too though. Make sure you stick with a cable tranny or you'll have all kinds of nightmares getting it to work (they're cheaper anyway). Seeya.
