Dear JohnMc,
The motor is a B16B and I find that it pulls well. Even up slight freeway grades, the car accellerates. Without knowing too much, I think the car will comfortably pull fine with a 4.10 But I'm wondering if it can handle a 3.73 Will it feel like I'm taking off in second gear when I'm in first? A friend seems to think it'll be okay, but I'm not so sure. Just FYI, I drive the freeways alot, so it's inportant to acheive a comfortable cruising speed of 75 mph. Knowing the cost of going to a different motor and tranny so I can put in an OD is making me seek other options. Any knowledge will be appreciated.

Boris
