Bob,

I'm clearly leaning towards the top end package. While a stroker is the dream, I'm going to have to dream some more as I've got one more college education to bank role.

I've done the rear gear math and certainly have my own opinion. I've never been much of a drag racer but because my reflexes are not as sharp as they once were I'm not all that interested in track day at Summit Point unless I take a class or two. I feel like my stock ZR1s performance pushed me beyond what I was confident with.

With drag racing, I do'nt have a good feel for the time impact of shifting other than to say that every .01 of a second wasted is included in your timeslip. As far as gears, I'm looking for opinions based on a combination of theory and practical experience. I'm also not sure I'm following your cpmparison to a L98. You have both knowledge of the theory and practical experience; what does you gut tell you?
