I second all of the above. A lot of variables here. Car wt., auto/stick, how much cam, and where do you drive the thing - drag strip or a freeway in Texas.
I use 3.91's & a Locker on my '69 Mach 1. It's pretty busy - 3,300 at freeway speed even with 28" tires - and I wish I had a 5th gear. But, it's bang on for humiliating 911SC's out here on the twisty roads of west Marin where you're never gonna have to go over 120. I like Crane's "cruising speed" guidelines for their various cam selections...pick a gear ratio / tire combo that gives you somewhere in that range at freeway speed for the given cam. If you can't live with that, go for less cam & a taller gear, because it sucks to bog. |
