Another really good option is to install a 2:75 ratio low gear set in the trans now and leave the 4:10 rear gears in with the stocker style C.I. motor The low gear set really helps the off the line perforamnce and deosn't hurt the cruise RPMs in high gear



Of course at $475 for the 727 low gear set I don't think that really falls under "budget"...

If you don't care about RPM on the street, gear it for the track.

115mph with 28" tire and 6% converter slip gives you right on 6,000 with the 4.10...
