Derek,
I'm saying the taller gears (3.92s) would "smoke" 'em better. Its
fairly common knowledge the higher the gears are numerically the
the more apt your are to have traction problems. I know the sure
grip helps me. I will say, when I had the 97 V6 w/3.21 gears and
no suregrip, I was constantly losing traction.
