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.
