that's the second time today I've seen that pic... :)

how are you finding the new gears? I'm considering going to 3.08 for better fuel economy, and I find that 1st revs out too quick with the 3.45's and that second and third are more fun.
I'd prefer to get a little more out of first, and have it rev a little lower in fifth on the highway.

mate i'm running 389s as you know and i love em lol,
1st & 2nd you change very quickly, though the car moves a lot better,and in 3rd gear its amazing and 4th will send you off the clock lol.
if your vl is a weekend toy like mine,go the 389s.

its a hard decision, my parents live 150 k's away and work is 30, so if I drive the vl, then its mostly highway and really chews the fuel, hence 3.08's would be good.
maybe after I get a tighter billet shifter changing up so quickly wont be such a bother, you see the getrags stick is very sloppy, kinda flaps around like a screwdriver in a bucket.
otherwise it is mostly a weekend car and only comes out when the sun shines.
