Well I talk to alot of Buick guys and they have the 455 low end torque monster rears too. they will not go over a 3.90 for even a serious race car. I would say spend your money on a set of slicks and have some fun with all that torque. Alot of the Buick guys are even going to 3.08 gears because with all the torque and with slick you really do not loose that much ET from a mid 3 series ratio like 3.42 3.64 ratio. Just some info for you. Jim
