I felt that gear ratio was perfect for the power and always put it down anywhere on track aside from slow 2nd gear corners where I actually really stabbed it. One could easily modulate the pedal and apply the power. I daily drove the car.

If you are not caring about the last few tenths when racing get the 3:70 gear ratio for overall better fuel economy. An LS3 isn't very far away from making 500rwhp with a better cam and long tube headers
I already have lonftube and a cam. While it's only the hotcam it's nice and safe. Now if ( when) I decide to upgrade the heads I'll swap out the cam as well. That's why I was leaning towards a intake to compliment my future mods. Fast lsxr 102 with the stock throttle body should gain some power and be more than enough for future upgrades.
