I'm having trouble deciding which gears I want to put into my car.
The Grand National 8.5" rear end that I'm putting in has 3.42's in it right now. I currently have 255/60's on for rear tires. From the online calculators I've used I've figured that my highway RPM would be virtually the same (within 1mph) if I went with a 3.73 gear and a 275/60 tire.
The cam will work with either according to the designer of the grind (the guy who designed the Lunati Voodoo series). My converter is a B&M 2400 Holeshot.
The car is built mainly for street fun with an occasional trip to the track. Either choice will only run around 2500rpm on the highway at 55.
Which set-up would you choose with the info I've given? Any input to try and decide this would be greatly appreciated! I have a little while to decide yet.
