Help Building a great street/strip 4 speed

hey 3404spd valiant i appreciate your advice so far as well...i just dont know where the carcraft thread came from and i didnt appreciate it (if it wasnt to make me look bad, then i dont know what it was for)...and yes, i dont care, i do like bowties...mopars own, but i respect all brands of muscle...im actually very excited for my bro to get his chevelle soon (wish it was a mopar, but atleast its muscle)....and yes pettyblu, i think being young and ignorant i will probably drive with a bit of an ego for the first little while on the street, so i think im definatly grabbing the scattershield to save myself in a god forbid accident....you never know what can happen as you guys have already said..and the minitub, meaning bigger meats, is another factor i never considered so i think its pretty much a gurantee for me to get one- gotta start saving for one now...as far as replacing gears goes, if there is a drop in rpms between the 1-2 shifts, would i be able to replace just one of those gears to increase performance? i know it involves spending more money, but the way i look at it is with all the street driving im going to do (daily driver) the money i spend now will be money i can save in gas later down the road
