Gear Ratio
Is 373 a good ratio for having fun?

Re: Gear Ratio
If its a around town cruiser yes its a good ratio. But if you do any highway driving then youll be turning 3000rpm ish at 65mph which is rapping a little. If you don't have a overdrive trans. which might be harder on the engine and a lil annoying.

From town to town... it'll wind out a bit. I have 3.55s in a Coronet
R/T and its a pretty decent all around gear.

Re: Gear Ratio
I have 3/55 gears now, I have 31X10.5-15s on it and a 4 speed with 4th gear overdrive. I can idle in first gear at 15 miles per hour, darn hard on the clutch.
