Not Ranked
David, Ernie
I believe some of the comp cars ran a CR toploader with 3.31 rears (first gear multiplication = 7.68). I am currently running a M21 ( 2.20 first gear) with 3.36 rears in my 442, and it's OK ( first gear multiplication = 7.39) .
With my cobra, I may try McLeod's soft-loc clutch, made to slip for launching, so I think it will be OK even if I go with a CR toploader ( 2.32 first) with a 3.07 rear (first gear multiplication = 7.12) . Obviously the 3.07 rear is nice for cruising.
If I do it, I'll try to remember to let you know how it works out.
If a cobra with a CR toploader and 3.54 rears ( first gear multiplication = 8.21) can do 65 mph in first @ 6500 rpms, then with 3.07 rears, it should be able to run 75 mph in first or reverse.

The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
