Re: [Chevelle-list] Ring and Pinion

[Ryan Langstraat]

I  think that Mike got it right too when he said "you really step in it now" I think Clint also hit it right on the head when he said that "without O/D, gearing is a big compromise."   I had no idea that would generate so many posts!   That is why I asked the ring and pinion question in the first place.  For the time being I am going to stick with the 4 speed tranny and was kind of looking for a gear ratio that was fun to drive AND realistic at the same time. Thank you to all who responded.  Before asking the question I was leaning towards the 3:73's but after reading the opinions and thinking about the use of my car, i believe I will go with something a little more driver friendly.   Once again, thanks for all the help, this list is great!   Ryan   PS-  Dale, I checked your web page you suggested and it reconfirmed what I was thinking!
