The 8 1/4 thread

Gotcha, so he did the 2.45 gear? Shucks. I'm wanting to go from my 7&1/4 rear with 2.76s to something between a 3.55 and a 3.91. Was slow enough off the line before a stall, now it's even worse lol.

I'm 99% sure my casting number is 2852905.
So I just want to clarify, if mine is indeed the offset housing, I cannot get a shorter gear than 2.45?

We were dealing with 8.25 housings so im not sure how much of this info is viable for a 7.25.

in the 8.25 the carrier ratio breaks are 2.45 and down (numerically) and 2.56 and up. so if it is the same in the 7.25 your 2.76 carrier should work with 3.55 or higher gear. i would not want much if anymore than 3.55 for a car you drive a lot but 3.73 would be the absolute most gear for me on a regularly street driven car.

But you are prob wanting posi as well right ?? because your current carrier is probably a one wheel peel.
