Mike,

I'm running the same 3.31 ratio as you with the Tremec. With my big cam, I couldn't pull 5th at low rpm until I installed Rhodes lifters. These made a world of difference! I can go full throttle (with vacuum secondarys) at 1800 rpm in 5th and just pull away from anything. Well, except a Lotus 7 replica. One night coming home from a rally. We're cruising about 75 and he hits it. In fifth, I just stayed with him. After we slowed down, he was incouraged to try it again, I guess. In fourth, it was bye bye Lotus!

Steady cruising at about 70 will get 23 mpg with this set up. Not bad!

Paul
