Axle and Tire Combo

Thanks jack, I think I'd go one notch less and go with a 2.94 rear if I can find one. I have a 904 so my 1st gear is a little lower and boost comes in around 2000 rpm. My converter is a little loose and highway speed limit is 75 here

The goal would be to make a 40 mile trip to the strip

Been reading about a 8.8 swap. Seems labor intensive but I am a welder so it's not to bad. Unfortunately the off road crowd loves the lsd 8.8 and throws in big gears into damn near every axle around.
