Well, I think you've done what most guys with auto trans do, which is put the diffs in from a manual. You just did it a different way. What year auto trans did you swap in? You should have a significant increase in final drive ratio, which should make it easier to turn those 31's, almost back to STOCK performance, ( as in with stock tire sizes. ) The factory 5 speed final drive gears in the diffs are 5.125 to 1, and the 3 speed auto should have 4.30 to 1, unless it came out of a 4 door 8 valve , then I think it may have had 4.62's or even something else. Skyhighranger or others know more than I do about this. I don't think your going to get more performance or power out of that thing unless you start doing some engine mods.
There are lower diff gears available, 5.38 to 1, 5.63 to 1, and 5.83 to 1. All are very hard to find, but I think skyhiranger has some.
