They had started with 4.56, then 4.33, then 4.11 then 3.90 ...... a close friend of mine knows him well.
Food for thought! I'm rooting for ya!

He is running a 455, though... I have 4.10s in it now, with 455, and it runs 10.80s/122 at 5800 rpms... I will need 4.33 gears atleast...i have 4.33/4.56/4.88 for it.. 4.88s might be a little steep, for my needs, but, i have them, if i dont hit about 6500-6600 with the 4.56s. On the other hand, a friend of mine, with Buick 350 stocker, only running 4.33's i think...4.56s didnt pick it up, but that could have something to do with the intake manifold, on those engines...not as good as a factory Pontiac, In my opinion...I definitely wont rule out less gear, though...
