Re: what gears?

More specifics on the engine combo? 3.70 is usually a pretty happy gear for most decent small blocks. Anything shorter (numerically higher) is usually TOO MUCH gear unless its a pretty wild engine... you'll probably trap between 5000-5300 with that gear in 3rd gear with a 26" tire.
