mini spool?

[bmxer_coon]

Hey guys, I'm building up a 350 chevy for my 87 cutlass supreme. I'm planning on running it with the 200-4r transmission that came in the car. i have a 7.5" rear end which is open diff. i was possibly considering a mini spool because they are pretty simple and are fairly cheap. has anyone used one before that could maybe give me a little more information on them? also i was wondering if i used one would i still be able to drive the car on the street with it or would it only be good on the track?
Thanks in advance.

ok, thanks guys. with the motor and trans combo, a set of 3.42s would work well right?

Whar kind of HP are you talking about, street.strip car or just street? I have 4.10 gears in my street/strip car and with the o/d it's all good....3.42 gears are a decent gas saver...for a lil more zip you should run 3.73 gears in there,,,You;ll be fine though if that's what you have and are budget minded 😀

If this motor is going to have a lot of power or torque for that matter then beef up the 2004r and maybe buildup the 7.5, or get a stronger 8.5, 9 inch or 12 bolt. Running a mini spool on the street only results in being a total pain in the *ss and you'll be grabbing cops attention with the tires churping around corners. Find a Limited Slip Posi, locker or a truetrac.
