Again it leaves lazy, I think. I would like opinions on weather a rear gear change (deeper), a converter change (looser) or a lower tranny gear would be best.

thanks Greg.
I choose option 4, all of the above. A 3 speed trans would probably make the most difference if you're only changing one thing.
