so I think I've pretty much got the trans figured out, but its all expensive.

I if was running these gears

1st: 3.28
2nd: 2.14
3rd: 1.57
4th: 1.24
5th: 1.00
6th OD: .76

out of a vette, say through 500 base hp, and lets set the torque equal, what would be a good ratio for a 12 bolt? Whith gas milage in mind, but at the same time street preformance.

And would it be a good idea to buy some 12 bolt out of a heavy duty GM truck at the junkyard, rebuild it, and then have some one smart set the gears so it doesn't seeze?
