All around performance is usually high 2's and low 3's on the gears with 2-3 speed tranny over drive and 4-5-6 speed trannies work better with mid to high 3 series gears.
NOW I do not know what all your motor and tranny specs are so this is very general. Jim

engine is a 430 Buick, aluminum heads, mild cam (.515 in,.515 exh lift,.284/.284 adv duration, @.050 duration:.232/.232).
trans, is a TCI street fighter TH 400, w/2600 stall convertor. My goal with this project, to make it a fun cruiser, with an occasional stoplight launch now and then
so, I could go ahead and run the 2.73's in the posi?? those 2.73's with the old v6 had a real good launch, might be fun with a very stout big block v8
