Mostly right in between 2nd and 3rd on everyday twisties. I have a KC 484 BB motor with a little more than 600 hp/tq. Great motor. A lot of fun and easy to live with, but definitely smoother above 2200 and loud above 4500. A 3.54 would mean just keeping it in 3rd for most of my driving.


PS: the magnesium wheels are a must!
Yes, magnesium wheels are a absolute must! But where can we get them is the better question?

I agree with Lew. I have a 482 with 3.42 rear end and I would definitely move up numerically to the 3.54's.
