Driveability

[scareme]

I'm seriously thinking of going with the stage one setup, with 4:10's/4:30's, plus the manifolds and possibly even the torque convertor. What i wanted to know is with this setup, how bad is the driveability going to be. Around town - highway speeds. Does the TC make city driving bad or not. Are 4:30's too much of a gear for highway speeds...etc.

My unscientifc measurement w/ all accesories off in park are as follows;
Cobra Exhaust @idle +3-5 D/B, @2,000 rpm =+/- o D/B, @3,000 rpm= +/- o D/B.

The Cobra exhaust has a deeper tone, no vibrations or cockpit intrusions.

The T/C no driveability problems. @ idle in D or R the car barely moves, takes total 3 minutes to learn a slightly different driving style.

4:10 gears about 15% higher rpm, negligible.
