Many forget the gears alot of us ran in the 70-s and 80-s on the street 4:56, 4:88, 5:13, just build it right, not tight, and drive.

A 3:91 is still enough to upshift to 2nd at 55-60 and let it sing.


How many 2-3 hour hiway drives do you take with those 4.56’s?

In the 70-80’s how many people were doing 80mph on the hiway? Y’all were stuck doing 65 screaming along.

If you need a lot of gear, you have a limp wristed engine.
Plenty of guys in the 10’s with just 3.23’s.
