What tranny are you running? What tire size do you have? How much mileage are you willing to lose? If You had an A-833OD and a heavy car I'd be thinking in the 4.11/3.91 range... if you had an automatic and large tires then 3.55's might be a fair compromise. -D.Idiot |

Probably 3.55's ,if you wanna drive the car quite a bit. You might could get away with 3.91's if the tire is tall enough. By the way- an 8.25 sure grip will be more than enough to handle a hot slant six. Why bother with an expensive 8.75 rear that you dont need? The sure grips are big $$$ for 8.75's as well. I'd only go to 8.75 if you were going nitrous, turbo or supercharger. The advantage that the 8.75 does have is the ease of gear swaps which is very nice. If you dont like your gears, swap the chunk. |
