hey guys i have a rear end that i'm going to be putting a posi unit i got outta a 71 camaro into and this rear end is stock with my nova is a 8.5 10 bolt and it has 3.08 gearing
my question is is that gearing fine to keep?
im going to be running a m-21 with a 2.20 first gear and i did the graph and i can be in first gear at like 30mph still in the 2000-3000 rpm range
this means at highway speeds ill be cruising in the 2000-3000 rpm range as well which will be really good for gas mileage
this isn't going to be a drag car by any standard nor a long distance car but i want it to get decent gas mileage and be fairly peppy off the line
with that info...
will i be fine with 3.08 gearing? or should i go higher to 3.73 gearing? what would be the pro/cons? -- the 3.08 ring and pinion are in good condition so its not like they need to be replaced.
thanks! :yes:
