While it won't get better gas mileage, changing the rear differential will get the C32 much faster in the quarter mile.
The changing from a 3.20 to a 3.90 rear gear will drop the quarter mile time by at least half a second. I understand there are lots of available rear end ratio gears, as well as posi rear ends.
