Default Freeway Flyer Gears

Just about ready to have this thing put together. 540 BBC w/AFR 315heads and EFI should be between 700-750 hp with a 4L80E and Nitto drag radials.

I want to cruise at low rpm on the freeway so I've been thinking about using 2.94 gears. I'm only driving on the street and figure it should have plenty of power to pull at low speed.

I saw ML67 is running 3.08 gears. Anyone else with lots of power running a similar gear?

What transmission....? You may want to consider a tranny swap!

You already have an overdrive. You could use 3.08's.
