Re: [Classic Mustang] Whats a better gear ratio?

I run a 2.79:1 open gear now due to the fact that I am wayyyyyyyyyyy out in the country and with gas prices, the cost to go to all the cruizes and car shows in the bigger cities is just too dang much   I am building up a 9 in axle and have gone thru your same thought process.  A 3.00  or a 3.50 ??     Gas hit $4+ a gallon and I decided on a 3.25:1, just like the factories put in.  I expect to get a little less mileage per gallon, but a little better trip out of the hole...  I RUN  NOZ booster in mid-level gas and it runs fine, saving me money.  Every two months,  I give my rock-hard 351W engine a good drink of cold water  right thru the carb to clean her up a bit.   Will make her a little steam engine for an hour  lol. --- On Wed, 10/15/08, Michael D.

Which ever is more important to you... is 'better,' I suppose. -Michael mustangghia75 wrote: > 3.00 to 1 or 3.55 to 1 please let me know asap trying to decide > something thanks. > >
