No problem.
As goes for the little dis agreement... just because we disagree does not mean that your wrong and I am right and visa-versa.
It only means that we have 2 different out looks.
Which is cool.
Now you ask...what I think is wrong or disagrre with...
I don't know your whole set-up but I assume its preety mild..so we go from there.
4.10 gears verses 3.27 gears.

4.10 all the way if not more. It's funny because I just had this issue with a friend that has a mod motor. Yours and his concerns were close. After a couple of months debate he did it. Never looked back. The mod motor like mentioned before needs some rpm's to run more efficent,fun,blast what ever. The 3.27 gear which I believe is stock doesn't suit the needs. I understand that you don't want to shift any faster then you do now...then don't! Instead of shifting at (I assume) 2000-3000 rpms shift at 3000-3500 rpms. Or start in second and shift to 4th and then 5th. My friend who has done this believes, the drivablity has INCREASED, due to the new gear.

Alu. flywheel.
Will hurt your bottom end torque. There is a reason why they are heavy. Yes, the draw back is in the upper rpms but technically you shouldn't be there right???
Now run a 4.10-4.30 gear and a alum. flwheel with a good clutch (spec) and now we have a completely different story! Put on a blower of some sort (I prefer Novi and Vortech) and you have a fun street car with good manners.
Now you might disagree and thats fine...or you might find it to be a good one, but relize someone will always disagree.
