| Rearend Gearing |

I know I have discussed this before but there are still guys who build up their FEs with cam, intake, heads, etc and retain the stock gear that came in the car. Unless your car was a true high performance one out of the factory, it more than likely came with a 2.75 or 3.00 gear ratio. Make all the horsepower you want but without a good gear ratio it will not accelerate like it should. Of course if you have to drive long miles strictly on the highway, there is no need for acceleration.
Remember that a decent stock 4 barrel engine with a low set of gears will usually out run a built up engine that is backed by 2.75 gears in a drag race.
Lets hear some actual hands on stories about what gear ratios that a FE owner can live with for acceleration and all around performance.
