jason,

I know I am going to regret asking this but how hard is the final drive swap? how expensive is the xB final drive?

I used to have a dodge dakota that was a rocket ship (at least to me) and the best thing I ever did was go from 3.55s to 4.10s in the rear.

1.5,

I'm not that much into show. I would rather have a fast car than a showy car. I know that is personal preference. I think I may be hard pressed to get to 120 without any serious work. There was a guy on here that went with prius pistons (13:1 if I remember right) but he hasn't posted in a while. the assumption is that he started predetonating and his motor is toast. We don't know that for sure though.

The parts are around $500, the rest is labor. We take the trans to the shop already out of the car, and it has been around $400 for the swap.
