  The MP SBEC?? That's about 6200, right? Dang, I'd better do some more
reasearch first; I definitely don't want to limit my top end. I'd like
to cross the line between 5,000 and 5,500, if possible...

   I've read that Richmond gears are "known" to make some noise, so that
might have been normal?

  I've got the 3.55 rearend also; did you have your speedometer corrected?
Did you notice a difference in gas mileage?
