Well, I dropped 7/10's by swapping to a five speed. Though I dropped some spinning weight, it's basically a change in gear ratio. It went from 2.40 1st gear, to 3.35, which is like having an auto with 3.73's.

Now, I went to 3.55's from 2.73's and my traction went to sh!t. I went from 14.7(@65*) to 15.0 (@95*). The temperature differences would probably equal out the times, but I was pissed.
