I'm looking to buy a new ring gear and stall for my cutlass. I've got a 7.5 posi to go in and I'm leaning towards either 3.42s or 3.73s but probably 73s because of a more aggressive launch. No idea on what size for the converter though. The car will see both the highway and city driving frequently.
Build is;
-355 SBC (.030over) aluminum heads and a 268xe cam
-200-4r
-26" rears
I want to be able to smoke some folks in town but also not get 16mpg on my road trip planned from Vancouver Island to New Orleans.
An online calucator says 3.73s would give 60mph @ 1950rpm and 77mph @ 2500rpm which are highway speeds in my area. Toqrue lock-up will be done through the 200-4r painless wiring kit. What are your guys thoughts?
