I'm sure down the road I'd like to make more power. I've been entertaining the idea of 3.27 gears as well. More than likely going to go 3.55 and use a 255/50 16 drag radial or similar sized slick.

3.27 would be way to high u would be so laggy man have u looked at the gear to speed calculator

It really just depends on the setup, unless they have very unusual gearing aka not a stock trans or V160 then I agree. As far as quarter mile is concerned any setup that needs a 3.27 in it to trap in 4th gear would have a V160 in it. With this combination and 10500rpm redline ~190mph is achievable. 3.27 would be even too tall for most 1000whp setups. At a 10500rpm redline with a 3.55 the car could tap 170+ and stay in 4th gear.
