Where'd you get your 3.8? I have a pair of them and they're slugs. I can put a high torque'ing 3.0 or 3.2 in there and run circles around both of my 3.8's. I usually go with a high torque decent rpm (3.0-3.2) motor with high gears. If I use 3.8's, I use Low Low gears because I'll get smoked on the starting line and I never make up the time. I still never make it up.
Try this:
Use an R-spec with your dual cell and a standard pinion. That would be a nice combo. Or get a Darkside 3.4 with a high gearset and standard pinion.
My 7 tooth pinion took away alot of torque. High rpms are great, but if you don't have any POWER as in torque, you can't even get your rpms up there. If you use multi-cells, your 3.0 is really running like 40,000 rpm (or even more) and has much more power than a standard. Do a 3 cell mod. I did that on a clone Impreza one time. It was so freakin fast, man! Just put 2 of the cells in the rear deck lengthwise.
Just ideas.
