3.08's aught to get you BIG mph beyond the 1/4... They prolly won't do you much good for drag racing at this point, however.

well i think that the 3.08 gear will help keep the motor in it's power band longer since you have a mostly stock motor so turning a bunch of rpms is out of the question so the torque will act upon the taller gears better.


the TTA's use a 3.27 gear and they mph better in the 1/4 than the buicks do.

why not weld the spider gears and take turns wide until you save some more money for posi . Use the money you have now for a set of used slicks. Is his tranny built? If not, he may brake something when he leaves. Get some VHT, soak 'em and let her eat!!
