Waking Up a Turd

Its a 3.23 gear. And i put in a Detroit True Trac.

Hooks up nicely now, street tires. p275
I had to leave it in drive at the track, as i was having a shifter cable issue, The PO installed a B+M ratchet shifter, and the cable was melting.
It would shift at 4900- 5000. Chirping the tires at the 1-2 shift
I would like to have a set of 3.55 or deeper, But don't think i will do that mod unless i find a A518 for it.
