I'm cringing here reading about a 4.8 with 3.23s and 80e.

4.10s would be my choice.

Tell me about it haha.. 95mph and still only in second gear! I couldn't even spin the tires with the stock converter on small street tires. Only good thing was i could still drive it home in 2nd gear at 50mph after losing 3rd and 4th gear
