F-berri ..... THINK about it this-way. As many miles as you put on your car ... how many of those miles benefit from that stiff gear ?

MILES ? ... how about measuring it in FEET !!

I have a car that is lighter than yours ...a 62 Belevedere with lotsA' fiberglass ...and have a 2.76 gear in it and I LOVE IT.

SURE the car doesn't gate that hard(1.82 vs 1.65) .... but with a shorter gear ... those "100-roll" shots are fun .....

And you will love that MPG.



TALLER GEAR....numerically lower gears are TALLER/HIGHER, numerically higher gears are SHORTER/LOWER

by your logic, "low gear" in your tranny would be 3rd (1:1) not 1st (2.45:1 for a 727)
