Can anyone give me some advice or suggestions of what i should do other than getting a 6 speed.

The 3.5FD with vlsd improves acceleration at 1st through 3rd and make you lose power/tq at 4th & 5th?
So when I'm on the freeway I wont have as much power at 4th & 5th as I would if I keep the 3.3FD? Oh one of my main question is how is the gas comsumption? The Z kills enough at 25/19...would the swap make it worse?
Just gathering knowledge since I will be getting a Z soon. I just want some minor upgrades.
