I have a friend with a Roush Mach I, wow that car is gorgeous. But anyways, he has 4.30s on his, and at 80 mph it is a hair under 3 grand, so I think if you are going to be doing a lot of highway driving, go a little lower gear-wise. If not, go 4.30 and roast camaros! Then add the prochamber to pick up the chicks, and roast camaros with the chicks in the car!

No, it is like almost 3 grand, BARELY a hair over. His car is an auto, with a high-stall converter and 18" Roush rims. This site has a calculator for gear RPMs with certain gears and trannies: http://www.wcfords.com/stuff/calcs/EGTcalc/egtcalc.php

RE: prochamber or 4.30's??? that is the question
A little question here about gears since it is on topic sort of.
I read the gear sticky post in I think General Tech but I still don't know exactlly what it is comparing. I think I know it is comparing the amount of spins of the rear wheels in camparisson to the spins of the (dont know the name of it) but the bar that goes from the engine to the wheels. Unless I'm wrong, it seems like it would be the number of spins on the tire compared to the bar so 4.10's would spin the tire 4.10 times for every 1 revolution of the bar? I am just trying to get this straight.
Also they were talking about figuring out what you have by counting (which I'd need to know if I'd be counting the right thing) but how exactlly would you go about doing this just on the street or your driveway? unless I'm totally retarded it seems like you would need you car lifted up so you can watch underneath. Also isn't getting higher gears putting more strain on that bar that goes from the engine to the rear wheels? Is it possible that it would break at all?
Thanks ~

cliffs notes: the higher the gear, the faster the rear axles will turn in relation to the drive shaft. The actual numbers i.e. 3.27:1, 3.55:1, 4.10:1, etc. are a ratio of how many teeth are on the ring gear vs. the pinion gear.
