Will I regret change to 3.55s from 2.76s

I blew up a rebuilt 360 when I went from 276 gears in my 74 to 355. I had about a 27 inch tall tire. Held it wide open for almost 2 miles.
No idea speed or rpm but floated the valves and when I slowed down it was down on power and top end sounded like a rattle trap.
It is a surprising difference if you only have a small tire.
I wouldn’t blame the 355’s for destroying your engine. You probably could’ve blown it up with the 276 gear doing the same thing.
