I'll play along.

An Austin Healey isn't a drag racer, and the first gear with any of  
the rear ends these cars came with is a very short stump puller (IMNSHO)

I have a 3.54:1 rear end with a 28% overdrive and while I've yet to  
install the lightened flywheel that is in my garage, I'm pretty  
confident that it's not going to do much to the launch.
