Re: rearend question
yep... just divide 41 by 11 and you get 3.72727272... which rounds up to 3.73

Re: rearend question
at the risk of hijacking the thread, what do ya'll recommend for a good ratio for good streetability/milage/highways speeds?
mine is a 350, with 3 speed 68 stepper. currently 60 mph is about 3grand on a tach. I'd much rather see somthing in the low 2grand area at 75 ish mph.

Re: rearend question
