Back to the drawing board... stock low dollar 360

Yeah I thought you did some of that already?
Not on this motor. Heads are stock.

I changed my mind. What rpm are you going through the traps at? That will tell you what rear gear you need. Are you out of first?
LOL.... I've crossed the line in 2nd gear, but I normally shift into 3rd about 100 ft before the finish. No tach, shifting by ear. As far as gear, it will get the 2.94's. I hate 3.55's or more with a 904 at 55 mph.
