Default What rear end gears would be best?
Looking for advice...

I'm getting close to the end of my build and came across something I think I'll have to address over the winter.

I have a stroked 408 with about 475hp/530fpt on the dyno and its married to a beefed up Ford C6 automatic. The rear-end is a ford 9" with 3.73 gears. The last time I was at Ed "DV" Combs shop, he said he thinks I would need to change the gears to get better drivability and performance.

Anybody have any suggestions? Would something around a 3:07 work better?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!!!
