Heading to Pittsburgh in the Scamp for my Daughters wedding. Not wanting to do land speed records though just taking my 4:10's out and getting a higher gear so I can cruise at 70 and keep it under 3 grand on the tach.

I'd throw a 3.23 in it and rock and roll.

Ahh... k that makes more sense... i thought you were adding OD to 2.73s for some reason :) I also like to run around 1200rpm at 120mph :)

Maybe give gear vendor a call for their input? Let them do some leg work for you? Tell them you want to optimize their equipment what ratio makes their product work best? I bet they would be happy to give you some direction.

was getting 15MPG at keeping it at around 2600 and keeping my foot out of it. That's about 55 MPH.

Yep when I can afford it that's what I want. the 4:10's I have to take it easy in first and second to keep my tires from spinning.

I’m actually afraid I won’t ever be able to use 6th gear in the t56 even with my 4.10s. It’s a 0.58 OD

Getting that way myself. One trip around our 4th Street Cruise and I'm ready to get away from the clutch pedal. My 3 finger clutch is mild.
 
You all have a good day I'm off to work the rest of the week.
Gotta replace a boxside on an aluminum Ford pick up. :BangHead: Hate pop riveting and glueing just seems wrong.
