Im gonna do a wide body on the car, and my total ground clearence is gonna be abour 3.5" in the front. Im also gonna be running fully finctional spoiler's. Im gonna drop in the Turbo II motor, and upgrade it quite a bit, so Im not too worried about power, just gearing at this point. Thanks for all the input guy's!

^^^^ he will have a turbocharger.
how about finding the 3.62 rear from an old 626 and putting on a set of 17" wheels with a beast tire. should level you out enough with the highway gearing.

FBII has the best idea yet. When I went from stock tires and wheels to my 15" Epsilons, my tire diameter increased almost 10% with the 245/50/15's. I need a set of 4.44 gears just to correct the speedometer error.
If you are going widebody, ISC racing has probably the best Cd of any of the wide front ends I know mine has a lot of drag just due to the shape of it, but i does stick better than the stock front end. Haven't had it past 100 mph yet, but near there steering feels much better than stock.
Fwiw, the Cd on the 3rd gen is .29, but if you have an R1 with the front spoiler, the Cd goes up to .30 or .31, go figure.
If you want to get carried away and really stick to the pavement, pan the underneath of the car. I do hope you are putting a full 10-12 point cage to run at those speeds.

Hoping to, Im gonna be dealing with a few cage builder's shortly (so possible late june mid july). I am still hunting for a T-II with a tranny. Just look for 2 toned car with a copper/ orange on the bottom, and white on the top, with a AZ flag on the roof.
