I've got 3.55's in my car now with the new 331 and I hit the traps at the top of 3rd gear going 107mph with 27" ET street's. I've got an e-cam, ported heads and intake, and all the other good stuff. Am I gonna gain anything by going to a 3.73 or 4.10 gear in MPH or ET??? Or should I just go back to my 26" ET drags and shift into 4th gear anyway like I would have to with a 3.73 or 4.10 gear. Ideas??? The whole reason I went with the 27" tires in the first place is so I would have one less shift to make in the 1/4, because it was reved out with the 26" tires.
