Default What rear end gear should i use? - 05-16-2007 , 02:11 AM






I have been in a wheelchair for about 10 years now and i built an 81
malibu with a 406 sbc, Edelbrock RPM heads, Tunnel Ram w/2-450
Holleys, full MSD setup, cam is crane 300 dur 510 lift, stall is
2800-3200 th350 trans, i am currently running the stock 7.25 inch 10
bolt w/ a spool and 3.08 gears, i have lakewood lift bars also. it
gets out of the hole good with the stall and the torque of the 406 but
my friends all give me crap about my 3.08 gears. dont hear em whining
about it when i blow their doors off though. what should i do? keep
taking the crap or go to a diff gear? what will it do to my setup? how
would the car perform, and what do ya think i am running for hp out of
it? its a 1972 block w 2 bolt mains.

Thank You All
Brett B.
