Blue-skying TC for '13..

presuming that the kids are ok in college and I actually have a kilobuck to pursue this..

the M54 seems to take SC -and- TC well..
since our 'let's make the final drive manageable' experiment has come up craps (no response to several requests for 3.64 diffs on PARTS.COM - None) then what can we expect from a SC or TC (leaning TC, since the boss loves 'em) regarding performance.

-I- thot SC, since we want to eliminate 1st gear altogether, i.e. torq, but tiny TCs sound more like the answer, given our desire to take off like stupid from 2nd gear.

There are prolly a bunch o' reasons why not to, but I'm thinking TC now.. and @ 125K Mi of dutiful service, I'd like very much not to blow 'is heart up.. I hates killin' 3.0s

blue-sky right? ignore as necessary.. and (3.0) successes are so welcome..
