A general rule of thumb is:

5spd=3.73
Auto=4.10

Thats the mix inbeteen good giddy-up and normal driving Now if Normal driving doesnt matter then throw 4.10's in there on a 5-speed for a **** load of giddy-up. Hell be crazy go 4.30s

ive tried to search this topic but i keep coming up with no results. my car seems to make good power after 3000 rpm and i have the factory 2.73's in my 8.8 causei put a new rear end in my 85. this is a street driver and will see the track half a dozen times a year. im not concered about the highway cause i only 60-65 mph on it anyways. what gears should i get to make my car rip?
that cant be possible....there is a new thread on gears everyday!
search hasn't worked for me the past few times either, I think it's broken.

bummer.....

btw....4.10s are a bit steep for a 5 speed street driver.

3.73 is the best street gear even if you do 60 and with 4.10's the car will kinda top out fast if you ever really get a good amoutn of power goin on.
