I've done a few searches on the subject and I realize there are quite a number of opinions but I am at the point of decision very soon and would like to here from guys ( and gals of course) with similar setups to what I have in mind. I would also be interested in any links to gear/ speed / ratio calculators, I had a few links stored in my favorites but lost them during the last pc problem. The basics are as follows; stock block 302, fms B303 cam, victor upper and lower intake, 19 lb injectors, 75 mm throttle body and maf, A9L computer, approx 300-320 horse, runs like you know what in the stang its in now. First problem is the darn thing broke 3rd gear and the countershaft in the trans, oops. I'm considering a new trans rather than rebuilding and I'm trying to figure out ratios. I'm leaning toward a 3.55 rear gear and am wondering if the 3.35 first gear in the standard ratio T-5s will be ok in the roadster
or will I be reaching for second gear after 2 seconds and 50 feet. The car is intended as a daily driver type of vehicle, very little track time. I need something that will be tractable around town (stop and go) and turn 2500- 3000 rpm at 70-75 mph on the highway. I'm not interested in pulling the front wheels or turning 4k rpm on the highway. As always gentleman thakyou in advance
