Gear ratio?

ram250098 said

I am at the point with this car where I don't want to put anymore money into it this year, three grand is more than I expected in the first place.
Problem is I am kinda in the boony's and hwy driving is a bit of a must. What is my best option to get it to be more of a all around driver?

If you are going 60 MPH and the motor is in the 4000 RPM range then you definitely have a low gear. Was the car a drag racer at one point in its life? Or maybe was built to be a hardcore street bruiser?

The only way to get the hwy driving you are after is to pull the gears and switch to hwy friendly gear or fit the tallest tire possible that you can get in there... like a 28" tire. That will help some but to switch out the gears or find another carrier already setup ready to go would be the only options you have.
