Trans vs rear end

likaroc13, your suspension set up will be the same as I have, you'll like it (esp if you get power steering also), however, like I said, I wasn't completely happy with just the 3.07 (or 3.08, whatever people want to call em). Just to clarify, when I say highway cruising I mean Interstate (I-95 around here) which means around 75 mph, for State highways (55 mph) the rear end would have been enough.

Davetopay, you bring another factor into the equation which is tire diameter, your tires are a couple of inches taller than my 275/60/15's. The calculators I mentioned earlier do factor tire size in. With a tall gear and tall tires it helps to have the granny OR an automatic. I believe Apachedaddy has a 350 auto currently.

yeah, i'll be adding power steering/power brakes in the near future as well...and when i say highway, i mean Interstate as well...i'm not looking to run with the modern technology, but i wanna be able to keep up somewhat...and yes, tire size will also need to be factored in.... i'm currently running a 205/75/15 tire

by the way, mine is NOT a daily driver either...just a weekend cruiser or show n' go
