I would absolutely NOT put a 36% in.... the 3.78 with the 26% is the way to go. If you really feel you want a ittle more I would go with a 3.54 which would give you a little more speed out of overdrive for general driving and then you have the 26% overdrive then as an option. Whoever recommended the 36% doesn't have enough experience with the engines and their power curve... at least for generally stock cars.

I Snyder H/C would be a good companion as well.
