Re: what ratio gears are best (fioremike)
I think 3.73s work well with your deep 1st gear and only one OD. On a 6-speed 4.11s might be the ticket.
BTW, that's one helova short time and ET. What stall TC and DRs are you using?

Scorp is right on. If you already have 3.07s, think of something else to do. I have a similar setup as you and switched from 3.07 to 3.45s when i did the dana 44 swap. I do perfer the 3.45s for street driving, but i dont think they helped much (if at all) on the 1/4 mile. I race with another guy with the same setup that is still running 3.07s and he acutally short times better than me.
