From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
IMO, gear drives are a waste of performance $'s best spent where they do some good.

Hope the bottom end, transmission, and rear are up to the task.

Re: for the future

This would be a retrofit roller setup then? 246/254 cam on a 350? That's a CRAZY camshaft eh? Like 4000+ RPM stall speed eh? Completely unstreetable for most people. I think that's a pretty wild combo, you up for that? Steep rear gears, big stall speed, balanced rotating assembly, high compression ratio.... etc?

Don't get a gear drive. There's no good features of them. Get a double roller normal one.
