Well, I guess I'm the odd man out. I do have 2.94s in my 1970 Roadrunner and think it is a great gear for my combo and how I use the car. Running on the highway it is doable, and I have no problem with acceleration with a stroked 469 engine. In fact I was able to run a 12.48 in the 1/4 mile with this car. 3.55s are fun around town, but not on the highway with the engine screaming 3400 rpm at 60 mph while Hondas and Prius' climb our backs. It all depends on you set-up and how you intend to use the car.



3400 @ 60 sounds more like 4.30s than 3.55s, how tall are your tires 22 inches?

OK, so I was guessing. I don't know the exact engine speed at 60 mph with 3.55s All I know is I've had my share of short gears in these cars, maybe its just old age, or being spoiled by my daily driver loafing along at 2000 rpm at highway speed, but I just don't believe we need to be winding these engines out to get good performance if we have planned our builds. For all out acceleration, I agree nothing beats torque multiplication.
