2.28 first gear 4.56 rear gear=10.40, not exactly that NUMERICALLY low as most bracket cars are much lower numerically. Like our dragster being 7.38 or the Stratus being 7.72.
Low to me since I assume (I know, don’t assume) you had the standard 2.45 low gear in the 727.
So that meant to me either a 4.24 axle with 2.45 low or some other 1st gear ratio and axle combo.
