However, after the races I attended in Sept. where I didn't do burnouts for a change, I think I may be alright with those taller tires in the future...heck if Mustangs can run 8-9sec quarters with them, my 15sec ride should be able to hook good with 'em given that they're a taller tire than those slicks are???

Gary, Not to worry. I will be testing my transaxle with a 4:47 ratio next year and if it stays together I will be able to provide you with a set for around $800. It will include both sprockets, uses the stock length chain, and you will need the 3.33 factory diff. You will need to turn down the outside diameter of the drive sprocket retainer about an eighth of an inch and do a little grinding inside the chaincase for the driven sprocket clearance but that's about it. After the install, you will be able to use a 23-24 inch tall tire and still have more gear than you run now.
