What is your "cruising RPM" and at what RPM is your advance all the way in?
You are being "comical" about the "overdrive" comment-right?  |
Can't remember what 70mph worked out to. My tires will be about 26.5", so you can easily look it up. I don't plan to do long highway "cruises", and I want plenty of revs for the Webers. I don't understand what "advance all the way in" means, so can't respond to that question.
The fourth gear in my setup will have the same gearing at the tires as a 1:1 top gear paired with a 3.77 rear-end, which was a common rear-end in the original competition 289s. As a consequence, my 1:1 5th gear with a 3.08 rear becomes, in effect, an overdrive relative to the original racing setup. Sorry if that concept is confusing for you, but that is how I look at it.
