Whats everyone running for gears?

[/6 Matt]

2.76 Great for cruising, though I think I would rather have overdrive becasue with 2.76 gears, 14 rims and 205/70R14 tires she spins about 2500 rpm at 70 mph. I would rather that be around 1800 rpm.

2.76:1
Besides convenience and price (came that way), it seems fine for the type of driving I do (real commuter driving, never "cruising").

 

[340-4spd]

Why no choice for 3.73? That seems like perfect compromise combo with the 27" tires on my Duster right now. How come nobody seems to mention tire tire size either? Along with the gear, tire diameter tells the whole story about your final drive ratio and overall gearing.

I have a set of 3.91's waiting to build. Could probably do better with those for racing, but would be too high for highway driving, in the range of a 27" tire, I think.

4.88 for me. I like the accelleration... Had 3.91 but was too boring. I trailer the car if I have to go far.:thumblef:

4.56's Dana 60, Detroit locker, 29.5" tall tire

 

[airwoofer]

3.91s with suregrip. Only has 25" worn MT street slicks. Would like a taller rear tire for the 14" rear wheels. Just a play toy that was a track car but I want to tag it and be able to play on the local country roads. I live on what has to be burnout street. Long, straigt, isolated. More than a few of those marks are mine and it's easy to tell as I like to use the line lock so the rear end gets a little outta shape before I release it at redline.

Which brings up another question - what RPM should I worry about exceeding? No idea what is in the 71 cast date 340 except it has a steel crank. Revs like crazy!
