I was only stating my personal experience with gears. I put a cam with 533 .563 lift with 272 284 duration in a heavy 73 F100 with a 308 gear and ran 4 tenths slower when I put in the 373s. That was the only difference. I could "feel" the power but you only go so far in each gear before its gone. But I have been listening and I do understand the posts and emails Ive received on the gear ratio thing so I guess I've been convinced. I will also need a new tranny, any suggestions? Ive read the other posts on the subject of trannys. What about a richmond R.O.D. 6 speed. I know theyre costly but will it be worth it in the long run?
