Quote: when you get to it, consider the TKO over the GV....
Ditto that. For the price of the GV and work to get it mounted on a manual you can go with with a full TKO tranny. GV really only makes sense on an automatic unless there is a special circumstance.
In the mean time the 3.23's will work well for you. And when if you do get a TKO some day that 3.0ish range low gear will make that 3.23 come alive a bit more and make first gear useful and you'll have a nice tall crusing RPMS' in the 2000 range like any modern car.
