timhorr I have the 392 stroker with standard 3:10 gears - non posi - 1st gear tremmec 3550 is used up real quick while spinning rear 315/45/17 drag radials if I shift to 2nd at around 3000 rpm and nail it tires spin again. I think I got a good Ford racing 392 as it has never given me any problems. With these gears I always seem to be in the power band and cruising on highway is not a chore, if you go to a 3:73 I think 1st gear might be worthless ??
