5 speed!

or upgrade your diff to something with 3.9 gears maybe. Five speed is more fun though.

set the timing to 16 degrees and premium or 98, made a world of difference to my EB, especially off the line. also better fuel economy.

I assume its an MPefi?

Get a LSD with 3.9s That would give it some punch off the line.

with the auto go lsd with 4.11's get a stall converter to match the big *** cam u should get then get a big *** cam with chip, exhaust and induction, and get sick of that in a week or and and decide a jim mock dev 5 engine would be the way to go. so ya get that and realise u need forced induction so ya get that and snap ya neck when launching and that should just about do it
