Roger I changed from a 3.5:1 to a 3.89:1 with a TKO600 transmission. 347 engine. I changed ratio because the 0.64 5th gear ratio would not play nice with my cam at 55-60 mph. Seat of the pants, not that much difference.

Pick up a part time or seasonal job that you enjoy. You should be able to make an easy $3K over a winter (or summer if your in a desert). Get with KC on a set of heads, intake, and cam. That is a change you will feel in the seat of your pants!

I use 3.7's with 17 x 12 on a 315 Nittro 555r's. (25 1/4" tall tire) Tremec R600 w/ .82 final. Thats the ticket for me. The motor's a 460 by New Generation Engine. She turns 2300 at 100 klms in fifth. Dyno says 750 hp at 5800. Torque is 610 ft pds from 1400 to 4200, on a flat line. With the 3.7's The car is most manageable in traffic. 3.55's at idle produce too much head snap for my liking.

it wont matter what gears you have.you shouldnt to dump the clutch to make it happen , with a big block you just blip the throttle and blam. its like a 2 stroke dirt bike and a 4 stroke , for every 4 gears and all the hard work on a 2 stroke ,you can get lazy on a 4 stroke.
