It does take a different mindset because you'd think that'd be WAY too low but it's perfect(.4 mile high banked dirt track) 360 9-1 CR 2bbl by class rules & at the end of the straights it is still pulling strong at over 6400. Those Hughes cams are awesome.

I swear I have a 2.72 gearset in a 742 housing from a very early '60's Chrysler. The older pre '60's cars had some unique gear choices, didn't they? I've seen some odd ratios (example 3.36).
Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen!
Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

Robert, I could send you a picture of it, but there are alot of mopar parts in the way, getting to it. Do you really want me to dig it out? The numbers are stamped in the gear set. Every time I've had to dig through that area of the garage, I look at the ratio because I too, find it hard to beleive.

No bro please dont & in no way should my ramblings ever be construed as fact or to be taken as motivation to do something that is not absolutely neccessary.
