Default I try and use all of the gears as much as possible
Renman,

Ever give any thoughts to tossing the Top Loader and getting a Tremec. That way if you like 1:1 you just leave it in 4th OR if you get tired of it "buzzing" put it up into 5th and let your motor relax a little. I definitly wouldn't toss the rear end gears although it would be cheaper.

ERA re your>>>If you are running a 302 and want to smoke the tires you not only need 5.36 gears but you must make sure to put 175 X15 tires on the back. And make sure you inflate them to about 35 psi<<<

I take it you wouldn't "like" my even smaller 274" V6 Buick but if you'd like to see what "small" motors can do go to Run & Gun this year.

Regards,
