I've got the Richmond 4.57Rs. I like them a lot. I've never driven or ridden in a car with the 4.77s but those who have them seem to like them. I've always felt that the 4.56/4.57 was best for AP1s and the 4.44s for AP2s - especially for moderate FI applications.

With lots of boost, particularly turbo applications, a 3.9 would be sweet.

I've got 4.77's installed as of next week. I ordered my motor and new pistons. I'm putting having the motor bored out .025" and installing oversized pistons, balanced and knife edged crank, new rods and main bearings, and headwork (probably AEM EMS too). My grandfather already has the motor and is ordering the pistons and talking to his friends about the machine work. He wanted to build it for me so i just gave him the money and told him to go all out. He's been reading on here about what the does and don't of the motor are before he starts milling and grinding away on everything. I hope within a month or so to have the newest installment of Toby 2.0 will be complete and ready to terrorize...or at least get me to work and back.

It'll be interesting to see how much more he can squeeze out of the stock mill.
I assume he'll dyno his handywork?
