"Need to know your goals for down the road."
Why am I laughing? At me mainly.
FIRST, I did not want to rev too high on the bway but HATED 2.73's and 1st gear so annoying under 30mph constantly pushing in the clutch or bucking and no power. Sooo without much experience, I
changed to --> 3.55's.
I liked them but after learning from grady about how H/C/I 302's move UP the power band and run FASTER with higher number gears and good traction AND wanting to have a car that I can say runs 12's...I went 3.90's! They were AWESOME! I would have had to beef up the
suspension more to take advantage of 1st gear though and then it would have really flown but I didn't and
changed my goals...again, lol.
I wanted to rev LOWER on the b-way and I still wanted more low end without running out of gear too fast...sooo--> I
CHANGED MY GOALS AGAIN
and went to a 408 then 414c.i. and figuring I would really burn off my tires in 1st and rev too high unnecessarily on b-way. I also wanted a gear that would put the power to the pavement without spinning as much for streeting (different goals than a Qmiler) With that in mind, I went 3.27's!
Now as I am breaking in my engine, I like the fact that the 3.27's rev lower and quiet on the b-way but I liked the 3.90's better on the low end simply because I didn't have to push the clutch in so much at lower speeds.... So ..if I had a perfect gear right now it would be .. _______________. Iam not sure..
