Re: rear gear ratio
If it was my car, I would change the gear. I'm assuming you are running a small block with that much gear. In my super gas car, I run a 4.10 and have been thinking of trying a 3.89

Re: rear gear ratio
Yep a V-6 can run fast. All it takes is HP.
It is not Super Street and it is a little heavier than 2,000 lbs and it is limited to a 750 carb. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZPI6eCN8pE"]968et143mph - YouTube[/ame] The rear gear is: 6.33 In SS/DS it runs @ 3200 lbs

Re: rear gear ratio
The sweet sound of a v-6 making power,to bad they do'nt make any more parts for them.What kind of power are you making and at what rpm.With a 750 carb. and 6.33 gear must be pretty high.
