Not Ranked
302 EFI, basically stock motor here. 3.55 gears, 5 speed with .8 OD. Don't know what my first gear ratio is but 25-30 mph and it's time to shift.
Worried about not being able to "bring the rear end around" on demand from the throttle? I have NO problem doing that, in fact I STILL have to drive the car "heads up". If I punch it in a corner or grab second gear to hard it WILL break the rear loose and put the car sideways.
I believe the .8 over drive IS the "tall gear" ratio, by the way. I wish I had the .6 ratio which is a little "lower" allowing more RPM at cruising speed. .8 is common, .6 you have to specify!
3.73 with MY LOW first gear ratio would be WAY to low!
